You know the pattern: scene complexity grows, triangle count explodes, and optimization becomes a late-stage bottleneck nobody scheduled. Mesh LOD in Unity 6.2 is your chance to cut that risk early.
This module shows you where automatic Mesh LOD wins, where classic LOD Groups still beat it, and how to tune thresholds without wrecking visual credibility. You get practical import, runtime, transition, and limitation guidance.
The evidence frame is measurable: generation starts on meshes with at least 256 triangles, simplification roughly halves triangles per iteration, and can stop near 64-triangle limits depending on constraints. You also see project and object controls like Mesh LOD Threshold and Selection Bias, plus cross-fade requirements in URP with GPU Resident Drawer for smooth transitions.
Your next step is concrete: enable Generate Mesh LODs on environment assets, profile triangle count and frame time at default threshold, then compare against a higher threshold and validate quality loss before locking values.
CEO/Producer translation: you reduce production cost and avoid late optimization panic by automating LOD work where it is safe and manual-tuning only where it matters.
