Thanks. Download this test version of TexGenx64.exe and see if it runs through https://mega.nz/file/cJwTRILR#fY9YUe6Kt-dGvDMn8y--V1CdH5-xRvQa6PsvabIuJ4k
If not, upload new log, debug log and bugreport.txt if it exists.

Hi guys.

I wanted to ask for some help please.

Im trying to make billboards for this mod i uploaded

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/68798?tab=posts&BH=1

but for some reason when i run texgen 3 (no hd tree ) and dyndolod 3 (no ultra option) i still dont see my trees in game even tho the billboards are generated in the texgen files.

i also made sure there where no billboards before related to my trees

am i doing something wrong?

 

another question i have is that if i run hd tree in texgen and ultra option in dyndolod 3 is there a way to still get billboards working for my trees even tho the rest is object lod?

thank you for your time

update> i was reading dyndolod page and it says that hd tree is just better billboards and that ultra option on dyndolod will still push out billboards for trees that dont have 3d lod.

so i still have to run hd tree in texgen and ultra on dyndolod to get my oak tree billboards to show. but when i run the game i cant see them.

funny enough..when i open my creation kit with dyndolod activated i can see the lods for my trees... but not in game.. xD any ideas? if someone can help i will by highly appreciated so i can start creating my mod for the nexus. thank you so much

Read the first post which logs and debuglogs to upload.

LOD can only be generated by DynDOLOD if LOD assets exist in the load order.
Check the DynDOLOD_SSE_Tree_Report.txt that the billboards have been found as explained here https://dyndolod.info/Help/Ultra-Tree-LOD#Generating

Make sure tree LOD distance is set to a high enough value so that tree LOD can show.

ultra tree LOD = trees are done in object LOD. What existing LOD assets (billboards or 3D models) are used for which LOD Level depends on the mesh rules for trees. https://dyndolod.info/Help/Ultra-Tree-LOD#Generating
HD billboards will always be preferred over standard billboards.

That worked like a charm! Thanks for your help my lord.

Thank you for the help Sheson.

i have been running always in high rules. i just ran dyndolod again.

maybe i cant see the lods because as i am using season nifs.  instead of the original nif. in the game.. because always showing or summer..or autumn, or spring or winter.. doesnt show the normal mesh ever.. could that be it?

sorry for the long log. but maybe by  looking at this the problem can be solved easier.

i think problem is that texgen is not creating billboards for the season trees. correct?

Thank you for the help Sheson.

i have been running always in high rules. i just ran dyndolod again.

maybe i cant see the lods because as i am using season nifs.  instead of the original nif. in the game.. because always showing or summer..or autumn, or spring or winter.. doesnt show the normal mesh ever.. could that be it?

 

here is the report from DynDOLOD_SSE_Tree_Report.txt

As explained on the first post, upload/paste log files to a file or text sharing service. Or attach small enough files to a post.

As already explained, LOD assets are require for DynDOLOD to generate LOD for things.

No idea if that assumption is correct, since you did not upload any of the TexGen logs as explained on the first post.

It could also be that the TexGen output is not installed/active.

See https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen#Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards and https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen-Configuration#Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards, i particular the part about how objects bounds are used to determine for which trees to generate billboards automatically.

That worked like a charm! Thanks for your help my lord.

Great. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Sheson

I did read the articles that you posted to me. i dont understand very much all of it. its quite complex info for me.  but from what i understood. i could not solve my problem there.

I am adding a texgen log into an attachment.

I always make sure my texgen output is checked and loaded before i run dyndolod. so that's definitely not the issue. I think the issue is that for some reason Texgen is creating billboards for my oak tree. the one i place in creation kit. because when i open creation kit with dyndolod active.. i can see my tree lods in the distant. that is no problem.

But i am running a Seasons ini file with my mod. that in game.... alters the vanilla Oak tree model for seasons one.. so 4 seasons nifs for each tree to match the seasons:  summer. autumn, winter and spring. ( so in game, the vanilla nif trees are never shown. only in ck )

and even tho. those nif files are with their corresponding textures in the mod folder..for some reason texgen is not creating the billboards.

You did not upload the TexGen debug log as explained on the first post.

The TexGen log you uploaded does not show that it generated a billboard for oak02autumn for example.

DynDOLOD can only find billboards that do exist in the load order.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen-Configuration#Tree-Grass-LOD-Billboards explains how TexGen uses the object bounds to determine for which trees to generate billboards automatically. It has a screeshot from xEdit showing the object bounds. It explains how to use CK to generate valid object bounds. I also explains how to use config files to force creation of billboards either way.

The words "objects bounds" link to the page https://dyndolod.info/Help/Object-Bounds. The page again shows a screenshot of xEdit showing objects bounds of a tree base record. It also explains how to use the right click context menu 'Recalc Bounds' in the Creation Kit Object Window (links to CK wiki https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/index.php?title=Object_Window).

The reason why TexGen does not generate a billboard can typically be found in its debug log.

Hi Sheson, i really appreciate all the help. i will start digging into the information you gave me. i don't understand so much on the subject, but i will investigate.

i uploaded the wrong log, here i will upload the right one, i found it. if you can please see whats wrong in there i would be very appreciated.

i had to zip it because it was more than 8 mb

thank you so much

Going by example of Oak02Autumn we can see this in the debug log:

[00:01] [GetRequiredBillboards] <Debug: Ignoring Meshes\landscape\trees\vonef\oak02autumn.nif bounds volume 0, height 0 RealisticOaks.esp Oak02Autumn [TREE:B6000D63]>

If you load the plugin into xEdit and check the base recrod you will most likely find all the object bounds values are 0.

Just load the plugin with CK, mark all its TREE base records and right click, select recalc bounds. Save.

If you load the plugin after that in xEdit again, you will see the base records now have object bounds. If they are "large" enough, they will now be picked up by TexGen.

thank you Sheson. very appreciated
