LODGen

LODGen is a Blender 4.5 addon designed to simplify Level of Detail (LOD) creation for game assets.
Quickly generate multiple LOD meshes with progressive decimation — all within Blender’s 3D View, no complex setup required.

Generate LODs for Games in 3 Clicks or Less

Yes, I counted 💀

Select your meshes, add them to the list, and hit generate. That’s it.

Features

• Add multiple objects to the LOD generation list with one click
• Control decimation scale per LOD step via a simple slider
• Set number of LOD iterations (default: 6)
• Original meshes are preserved and hidden, preventing data loss
• Generates LOD0 as a clean base with modifiers applied
• Automatically creates and reuses dedicated LOD collections per object
• Progressive decimation applied cumulatively for realistic LOD levels
• Seamless workflow integration in the 3D View N-panel under the Create tab

Usage

1. Select the mesh objects you want to create LODs for.
2. Click Add Selected Objects in the LODGen panel (3D View → Sidebar → Create → LODGen).
3. Adjust Decimation Scale and Iterations as desired (default 0.5 scale, 6 iterations).
4. Hit Generate LODs and watch the magic happen.

Your original meshes remain untouched (just hidden), and LODs appear neatly organized in dedicated collections.

Versions

There are big differences between the latest version of the addon and v0.0.4:

• For Blender 4.4, please use LODGen v0.0.4 and below.
• LODGen v0.0.5 removes depreciated properties for 4.5 version compatibility.
