Lod Generator - generation of lod1, lod2 and lod3
Checking the generate lods checkbox before running wizards will generate lods for the object aswell as setting the hierachy.
Using the "Generate Lods from Selection" util will make lods from the selected objects that should already be set in
proper hierachy. The tool will keep the hierachy in the generated lods based on what's in the lod0. The tool will however ignore
objects prefixed with col , nonvis_
Bone For Selection tool:
Select the springs on your tank and run this tool. It will generate pyramid objects for the springs to use as bones when skinning the treads.
Remove root bone:
This checkbox on the export rollout will run a tool after export of an animation that removes the root bone from the animation.
This should be done with 3p animations that doesn't have an animated root node.
