3D modelers apply many processes to improve the look and usability of their assets when creating the characters, props, and sets that feature in your favorite video games and films. Not only does LOD support faster rendering, it does so in a way that doesn't negatively impact the visual quality of an asset. What is 3D modeling?

I've written smaller renderers using the ECS architecture, and I can tell you that if you implement ECS, your engine will improve its performance; ECS allows efficient memory access and cache coherency. Moreover, the codebase of these renderers is a lot cleaner and less convoluted. That is not good.
