A new update for the great utility by "the master" Juce for Pro Evolution Soccer 5. Itīs LOD (Level of Detail) Mixer for PES5 Version 1.6.

Sometimes you may want to enforce a particular set of settings in a league or cup or master league match. For example, if you're playing the World Cup (a.k.a. International Cup), and you managed to get to the final, you'd probably want to make sure that the stadium is full of spectators, and maybe you want to pick a particular stadium or time-of-the-day to play the final match. The game doesn't provide the means to do all that, but with LOD Mixer you can. For each setting, you can either force a particular value, of let the game logic decide.

Typically (and PES5 is no exception), a rendering engine in 3D games is designed to take advantage of the fact that objects that look small need simpler models than objects that look big. A close-up view of a car may require thousands of polygons to look convincing, but may only need a few hundred when the distance between it and the camera is big and the amount of pixels it occupies on the screen is small. By using simpler models for far-away objects, the game engine saves GPU cycles that could be used for creating additional visual effects, or just to maintaining a smooth frame rate. Level-Of-Detail algorithm is the logic that decides when to use a particular model for a particular object.

LOD Mixer to change the default setup and to force the game engine to use higher-detail models for the cases when it used simpler ones, and vice versa. For example, you can force it to use best-detail models for LOD #1,2,3 and keeping the defaults for LOD#4 and 5. This is the configuration for such example: 1,1,1,4,5. Or you can choose 5,5,5,5,5 which will result in really simplified models used for all cases. (This extreme config looks kinda funny :-), if for instance your PC is not powerful and you want to sacrifice some visual quality for smooth frame rate. Typically though, if you have a good PC, you'd want to use something like 1,1,2,2,3. Try this utility itīs really a great one!
