LOD Recipe: Build using commandlet

Build LOD Recipes in your project from e.g. a terminal or a script.

Prerequisites

  • A LOD Recipe asset prepared with mesh(es) and LOD(s) settings. Create a LOD recipe using this quickstart.

Build LOD Recipes from the command line

Open a terminal and locate the UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe in your Engine folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe.

Run the following command, replace {ProjectName} with the path to your uproject file. This will build all the LOD Recipes in your project and save them afterwards.

shell

WARNING

-AllowCommandletRendering is needed for a successful build if material baking is enabled by any of the LOD Recipes.
