update LOD-s for model

[rosvitacousland]

Some time ago, I made some retextures, but I have got the problem, that from a little bit afar you will see the original colours again instead of my new ones.

 

Now, someone has given me the kind hint, that I should "update LOD-s for model". I guess, "LOD" is an acronym for "Level of detail". However, I have no idea how to update the model.

 

Any hint would be appreciated.

I'm not an expert but I think you need three sizes of your diffuse map.....if your blah_blah_0d.dds is 1024 x 1024, scale it down to 512 x 512 and add l2 (that's an L not a one) at the end the name like blah_blah_0dl2.dds. then scale that one down to 256 x 256 and add l3 at the end of the name like blah_blah_0dl3.dds. step down each size by half if you're using different sized maps. I'm not sure, but you may need to do that for your other maps too. like I said, i'm no expert on texturing. I've just done a little for things like rugs and couches.

Thank you for your kind help! I will try. Actually, I only edited the diffuse map and not the three other maps. In addition, I am little bit out of practice after About one year, but I can use my own step by step instruction to learn again, ha, ha.
