Here's the log files: https://we.tl/t-catl6ZdMDb I am also using the same 64x .exe which you provided me to stop the errors from occuring. Lemme know what to do next Say what the problem is instead of having people guess from screenshots. Looks like a full model tree is missing a diffuse texture it has no alpha channel. You uploaded the content of the Edit Scripts folder and not the Log folder.

How do I get them? Use the xEdit Asset Browser (started with CTRL+F3) to find which containers (BSA or loose files) contains a file. For example, Meshes\landscape\trees\treeaspen01.nif exists in the vanilla Skyrim - Meshes1.bsa. However, as reported by xEdit Asset Browser, that NIF uses textures\landscape\trees\TreeAspenBarkComp.dds There is a mod with a BSA or loose files that overwrites the vanilla models. The new NIF use different textures. Those textures are missing.

It threw up a bunch of .NET runtime errors relating to xLODGen and DynDOLOD whilst they ran. What specific information would you need?

How am I supposed to pick the right one without knowing what information they contain? It is very unlikely for a compiled Delphi program like xEdit/xLODGen/DynDOLOD to have .Net errors. Only LODGen is using .Net

The second about IO error hints at file access problem. Either because of OS, UAC, anti vir or maybe the export or log file is being blocked by another (hidden) instance. The latter can usually be cleared by a reboot. Then start DynDOLOD in expert mode by setting expert=1 in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_SSE.ini, select a worldspace and click Execute LODGen to see if it works then. Otherwise add exceptions to OS, UAC, antivir etc.
RockGodOne Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 I got TexGen and DynDOLOD working but I still never ever get 3D LODs for any tree mod. I only get the "+" shaped usual LODs. I tried Speed Trees and just now I tried A Little Tree Mod with its DynDOLOD 3 addon that supplies 3D LODs specifically for DynDOLOD 3. I still got just the "+" shaped LODs. I saw a screenshot of A Little Tree Mod on a Discord server that looked absolutely gorgeous and he said that he used Billboard4 for LOD4 and LOD8 and then Billboard1 for LOD16. He said he used the addon too (obviously). So I tried exactly that. But no matter what I do, I still only get the ugly "+" shaped LODs. I have not made a single change in the DynDOLOD_SSE.ini file except to start in Advanced mode automatically. Do I need to make some other changes as well in order to get 3D LODs? I thought that option was set automatically? Here is what I have selected. I picked the "High" option in the top right as well. What else do I need to do here or in the DynDOLOD_SSE.ini to get 3D Hybrid LOD models?

Hide contents Obviously setting "Billboard" to all LOD levels will generate billboard tree LOD in all LOD levels. Billboard4 can utilize HD tree LOD billboards which need to be generated by TexGen for their full potential. But billboards are always billboards. Read ..\DynDOLOD\docs\trees.ultra\DynDOLOD-Trees.html, which explains what ultra tree LOD is and that for 3D tree LOD, 3D tree LOD models of some kind are required and to set the "tree" mesh mask rule to something like Level0, BillboardX, BillboardX.

I'm only going on what he said he did and he supplied a picture of the result and since everything on my end should be working, I don't think there is anything obvious about it. I have the Ultra option checked as seen in the picture and even when I selected "level0" for LOD4, I still got "+" shaped LODs. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The A Little Tree Mod - DynDOLOD 3 - addon mod on the Nexus supplies the 3D LOD models. I have it installed and enabled right underneath the main file for A Little Tree Mod, which is also enabled.

That report tells you which LOD assets were found and used for each tree and LOD level.

If you set Level0 for LOD4 of LTM DynDOLOD Add-On mod, you will not get billboards in LOD4. Also be sure to run TexGen first ... and hide/remove any billboards shipping with LTM. They are not needed with the Add-On if you are using DynDOLOD 3 Alpha and can override TexGen assets, which are required for DynDOLOD to honor your tree rule. Be certain to install TexGen output as a mod (enable this BEFORE running DynDOLOD) one priority less than DynDOLOD 3 output, both at the highest priority in your installed mods. Sort with LOOT. Check 'winning' assets using MO conflict management if necessary. It really is pretty straight forward. I think you may be getting LTM billboards due to problems with asset prioritization.

First pass without it for object and tree LOD. Second part with it for dynamic LOD. If help is required to solve the cause of errors, provide necessary information and ask for help how to solve them. I looked for this issue and could not find anything, sorry if this has been answered already. The two pass method always worked for me with DynDOLOD versions 2.x With 3.0 on the second pass with open cities active in the load order, i get an error: Found Open Cities Skyrim.esp Remove it temporarily from the load order The only option is Exit DynDOLOD. Per the manual, I did not alter anything in DynDOLOD_SSE.ini for open cities. My DynDOLOD_SSE.ini contains: ; ; !!!

I don't know what other information or files to attach here, but I will if needed. Thanks for any help or advice
