CG Spectrum

Not only does LOD support faster rendering, it does so in a way that doesn't negatively impact the visual quality of an asset. Level of detail (LOD) refers to the level of complexity in a 3D-generated model and is primarily used in real-time rendering for video games and interactive tools.

This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.
