I?m working on a vwd mod, and because I know you guys from silgrad tower are very deep into modding of oblivion, I got a question. Maybe someone could answer this.
What?s the way to make things like shrubs "visible when distant" in vanilla oblivion?
I tried your tutorial about the speedtree billboards, but it doesn?t work for me.
I can only get the included types of trees and all the other stuff vwd, but no shrubs ?(

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Apart from that you need billboards for all new *.spt objects you create you may also want to investigate updating the distant lod. That's done straight in the CS through a menu function, and results in a huge number of files that funnily enough take up relatively no space at all. I didn't get lod to work until I did that menu operation in the CS.
