Unicorn VisTools is now completely compatible with StreamingEnabled! Setting a Model’s “StreamingMode” to Persistent allows your hand-made LOD models to shine through when using StreamingEnabled!
Utilizing the built-in LOD mesh generator for Models is significantly less optimized and looks uglier than using hand-made LOD models that dynamically come into view during gameplay. Utilizing hand-made LOD models also results in a sharp drop of both triangles and draw calls, which is especially important for both mobile & low end devices.
