It’s the literature I’ve been referring to > **[glTF/extensions/2.0/Vendor/MSFT\_lod at main · KhronosGroup/glTF](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/tree/main/extensions/2.0/Vendor/MSFT_lod)** > > main/extensions/2.0/Vendor/MSFT\_lod > **[Progressively Load .glTF Files | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/importers/glTF/progressiveglTFLoad)** > > Learn about progressively loading .glTF files in Babylon.js. 1. Is there a way to automatically order the LOD in the gltf file? 2. Do we need additional APIs or modules to load gltf of MSFT\_lod method? ![캡처](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/5/7/5753b1fb63b23642bd063ff686adfb55b3fcaf81.png) 3. “[https://playground.babylonjs.com/#ARN6TJ#5](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#ARN6TJ#5)” Is there more Demo like this? (I would also like to have an example of a model with the added MSFT\_lod method added…) I’m sorry, but could you help me? I think I have a low understanding of Babylon.js and gltf…ㅠㅠ ---

cc @bghgary regarding 1/. Regarding 2/, you need to use the `loaders` package to be able to load gltf/glb files in Babylon. Regarding 3/, maybe other people will know if there are other assets, but it’s difficult to create assets with `MSFT_lod` as there are not many tools that support it… Note: I have moved your post in “Questions” as it is more appropriate than “Feature requests”. ---

Regarding 3/ - seems that there is Blender add-on already: [GitHub - takahirox/glTF-Blender-IO-MSFT-lod](https://github.com/takahirox/glTF-Blender-IO-MSFT-lod) . ---

So can I manually add the LOD options to the gltf/glb files? Ex) GLTF example file ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/1/0/10affc7928aac059432c5409cea3abc1ce01ecc8.png) Because we convert it to FBX =\> GLTF The conversion environment is Maya, 3D Max ---

cc @PatrickRyan but I’m pretty sure Maya/3DSMax don’t support the MSFT\_lod extension when exporting to glTF/glb. ---

@qkrxotn7287, there is no support in the Max/Maya exporter for the LOD extension unfortunately. We have slowed investment on the exporters for now so it won’t be supported in the near future either. It seems like @labris’s point about Blender may be your best bet, especially if you are just using Maya or Max as a conversion environment and not tied to an art pipeline using those packages. ---

Maya certainly doesn’t support it. All right. Thank you ---
