SpeedTree 8: Level of Detail

SpeedTree artist Sonia Piasecki gives you a quick overview of the Level of Detail feature in SpeedTree v8.0. LOD is the decreasing of a model's complexity as it moves away from the camera.

Do the Frond generator works with LODs? looks like it's working on all others gen except the frond one, in the video I don't see you tweaking stuff in the frond generator so Im wondering if it works?

I can't see the LOD in my viewport.
Below Subdivisions appears Compute Flags.
PS: I have the version 8.1.3

Hi, loving Speedtree, its really awesome, just one quick question to post here to see if I can get some help, when exporting Leaf Mesh models the tweaks that I do in Orientation don't seem to export when I am using the Leaf Mesh models . Now they do when I use Batched leaves, but the collision detection in the Leaf Mesh models I feel is way better so I would like to have these orientations when I go to Maya . I have tried exporting them as ABC and FBX files with Leaf references on but neither of these seem to show the changes I do with any of the editors in the Orientation section of the properties . As stated it works with Batched leaves, just not Leaf Mesh, any help would be awesome . Thanks.
