Speedtrees recently started quickly decreasing LOD and heading to billboards in my Editor view. I can't replicate at all in game LOD appearance in the Editor or Game tab. Oddly, hand planted trees act differently than the Unity button painted/planted trees. As I have not changed LODs in some time with these trees/bushes, I do not think the answer is alteration in the LOD grouping.
Did I hit some critical mass of trees planted or accidentally alter some camera view setting? I am happy with in game appearance but I hate to fiddle with LOD and have to build out the course to view my results. The separation between the change and the result will make learning what's happening too difficult.
In Editor tab
In Game view
Terrain Tree and Detail Object settings
Any guesses?
