Thanks

So DynDOLOD thresholded alpha-to-covergage at what level?  i reduced the native resolution of the texture from 4k to 2k and set the threshold alpha-to-covergage to 127

DynDOLOD uses its own routine to generate mipmaps that is different from the general alpha-to-coverage routines.

I would suggest to start with the strongest value possible in whatever other tool you are using.

So, now DynDOLODx64 3.00 Alpha 61 Doesn't start after selecting SSE. Attempting it through MO2 or otherwise. I've excluded it in my AV, any  suggestions?

Ignore this, I figured out the issue...

I am getting that same error in the same place, right before billboards start generating.

I am also on SkyrimSE 1.5.97.

Thank you for the quick fix

Hey
Quick update TexGen worked without a hitch but now when i launch DynDOLODx64 it closes after the Background Loader finished

TexgenX64 Alpha-61 prompts me to exit after creating just the textures without attempting to create any billboards. There are no error messages. Of course DynDOLODx64 then complains there are no billboards and that I need to run Texgen. Reverting back to Alpha-56 with no other changes works fine--the billboards are created like normal. I compared the log files between version 56 and 61: Version 61 gets up to processing the "Parent worldspace Skyrim.esm Tamriel" and ends there. Version 56 continues from there to process the child worldspaces. I am using Dyndolod Resources 3.0 Alpha-17 in case that matters. I've checked .ini files and they are identical between 56 and 61.

The 3 log files are here.

EDIT: Hahahahaha I just read the posts above mine and it looks like you already fixed it in version 62. I spent 5 hours debugging this as much as I could which is why I never saw this issue reported and fixed. LOL

Found DVLaSS Skyrim Underside.esp. DynDOLOD replaces it. Remove it permanently from the from load order. Click the help link to open further instructions:

Read the actual message and help link https://dyndolod.info/Help/Terrain-Underside. DynDOLOD generates the underside.

My bad thanks for the quick help

If full textures become thin in the distances, also try generating mipmaps for it with an appropriate alpha-to-covergage setting.

When a texture is added to the atlas, DynDOLOD does this automatically, hence the difference.

From https://dyndolod.info/Help/3D-Tree-LOD-Model:
Note that LOD only has binary alpha with a fixed threshold of 128. DynDOLOD reads the alpha threshold from the NiAlphaProperty from the models used for LOD and adjusts the textures before it is added to the atlas texture. The final result in game may be to thick or thin like certain objects seem to be missing or transparency looks off. Try adjusting the NiAlphaProperty in the 3D LOD model. Again, note that the UV texture coordinates need to be >= 0.0 and <= 1.0 for LOD being able to use the atlas texture. If the UV is outside those limits, LOD will use the texture directly.

You can check and do simple edits to UV in NifSkope. If they are just slightly outside you can move them inside 0.0 and 1.0 in NifSkope UV editor or change wrap UV to clamp the UV in the shader settings for that shape.

sorry, I'm not very good at nifspoke and related things but can I ask you a question?

Is this what you are talking about? and they have to be within the area of the squares that I circled in red right? I see in the model recorded in Dyndolodxxx.dds within this distance (Aspen Ablaze). In Nifspoke I couldn't find any setting for it to show the parameter you mentioned (>= 0.0 and <= 1.0). Thanks

P/s: Sorry about my English, it's really bad
