  • Static meshes, animated meshes and collision meshes now support "include tags" and "exclude tags", which are semicolon separated lists of strings. If used, a mesh inside a GLTF / FBX file can be selectively chosen or ignored during import. This means you can pack LODs and colliders in one file and import them where needed.
  • The mesh import dialog now has an option to automatically set up LODs by either taking the LOD sub-meshes from a file, or automatically generating them.

This is the new dialog:

If an asset contains a mesh named "$LOD1_xyz" then that will be used. If there are additional LODs ("$LOD2_xyz", "$LOD3_xyz", etc) they will also be configured for use.
If there are no such named meshes, the import will add 2 LODs by configuring the mesh simplification option. If that's not desired, just set this to 0.
