Smart LOD Generator
AS Formworks
1.1.0 — 22 October 2026: Adds Custom Triangle Budgets for per-level requested counts and LOD Inspector with local CSV export. Bounds candidate-cost and common-neighbor temporary allocations, caches face membership keys per snapshot and uses partial selection for applicable thresholds. Restores previous active/render color attributes and each tracked viewport color mode after heatmap clearing. Validates prepared source faces/active UV maps after modifier evaluation. Handles baked-source budget previews and ambiguous source identity in the inspector. All 26 regression checks pass on Windows Blender 5.0.0 and 5.2.1 LTS; separate extension namespace and interactive viewport checks cover packaging and preview state. Local synthetic microbenchmark trades a small time increase for lower traced temporary allocations; no universal speedup is claimed.
Initial AS Formworks release as Smart LOD Generator. English UI, tooltips, reports and guide. Static mesh LOD chains, five Smart stages, individual tools and mesh analysis heatmap. Includes owned-output and name-conflict guards, per-source transactional regeneration, selected-only targeting, static/local data validation, protected islands and weld pairs, and conservative relaxation defaults. Blender 5.x heatmap display verified in an interactive window. CPU regression checks and extension namespace validation passed on Windows Blender 5.0.0 and 5.2.1 LTS. GPL-3.0-or-later.
