What is Level of Detail (LOD) in 3D Modeling? | Techniques & software

CG Spectrum

It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. Generally, the closer to camera, the more level of detail (surface details, textures, shadows, etc. These texture maps are then applied to the lower polygon count model to give it a more detailed and realistic appearance.

Making a Top Gun and Star Wars-inspired fan film in Unreal Engine

CG Spectrum

As the excuses he devised not to follow his passion faded, Anthony quit his full-time job to dedicate his efforts to exploring filmmaking within a game engine. I experimented with both Unity and Unreal Engine since real-time workflows seemed most practical for me as a solo artist. Building out the space station in Unreal Engine.

How to Create a Game-Ready AAA asset

Logic Simplified

With that I have to create a low poly model of the gun on which we will bake the high poly details. Then I unwrapped the low poly mesh model into three UV sets in order to get a good resolution of the textures. UV sets are the coordinates that map the 2D texture images onto the 3D model surface. I used Marmoset Toolbag software.

Cocos Creator 3.7.2 Focuses On Optimized Rendering And Lighting Capabilities

Cocos

Engine • Added DebugView at runtime UI control rendering debugging function. Editor • Support baking high-precision lighting maps to get a better baking effect. When the user turns on high-precision lightmap baking, 16-bit colors are used instead of 8-bit colors, and AO channels are baked separately.

Introducing the new "last minute" lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry. Godot lightmapper works with one texture per mesh, so sharing UVs between meshes will not give you more optimization.

Godot 4.0 will get a new, modernized lightmapper

Mircosoft Game Dev

Let's hope this implementation will also be of use to others making their own technology or engines, so they can use it as reference or just copy it. Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. Efficiently packs all texture objects in the lightmap to a texture array, to avoid state or material changes during rendering.
