In this challenge, you will import a model and create multiple lower resolution versions. You will then export these back into Unity, and add LOD functionality .

Convert your Lunar Module model into a Linked Prefab.

Generate reduced versions of the duplicated model by creating LOD meshes.

Parent these models back to the originally exported prefab.

Once parented, export the model back into Unity.

Add an LOD component to your Lunar Module.

Drag in the lower resolution models to each section of the LOD group component. 

Challenge: Create LODs in 3Ds Max

1. Import the Lunar Module into 3Ds Max
