====== Weapon Models ======

Weapon models by BIS. They have **5** different [[ofp:modeling:lod|LOD]]s, View-pilot and memory, nothing else. 0 LOD has less details as View-Pilot.

In muzzle flash selection "**zasleh**", there the shadow should be off and **User: 0** to prevent the muzzle flash to be in the shadow. Selection zbran is where the weapon is.

All SEB weapon models had **User: 0**.

====== Weapon Shadow ======

You need a Res LOD in your P3D with **~300 faces**.  You may set a named property for all higher LODs with more faces to: **LodNoShadow=1**.

====== Weapon LODs ======

I have a system for making weapon LODs:

<code>
View Pilot: max 800 poly (lodnoshadow - 1)
LOD 0.1000: max 500 poly (lodnoshadow - 1)
LOD 0.5000: max 300 poly
LOD 0.7500: max 200 poly
LOD 1.0000: max 100 poly
LOD 1.2500: max 70 poly
LOD 1.5000: as few polygons’ as possible
</code>

This way the weapon should work fine and cause no lag.
