Level of detail
You can configure the following levels of detail (LODs).
Texture atlasing (enabled by default)
Texture atlas resolution
Texture LODs
Mesh LODs
Texture atlasing (enabled by default)
With texture atlasing enabled (default), the meshes and textures of an avatar are merged together, and a texture atlas at a specified resolution is generated.
The resulting avatar includes 1 mesh and 1 material and can be rendered with 1 draw call.
This setting overrides the texture LODs setting.
The atlases are generated for diffuse and normal channels of the PBR materials included.
Texture atlas resolution
Choose from these resolutions.
2048
Create avatars with 2048x2048px atlas size.
1024 (default)
Create avatars with 1024x1024px atlas size.
Transparent objects
If any transparent objects are present, an additional Wolf3D_Avatar_Transparent object and material are included, and avatar rendering requires 2 draw calls.
