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

CG Spectrum

FEBRUARY 1, 2023

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.

3D: Add flag to enable use of accurate path tangents for polygon rotation in CSGPolygon3D ( GH-94479 ). Rendering: Bake UV2 emission using half float in the compatibility backend ( GH-101730 ). Rendering: Ensure Voxelizer SDF generation uses the correct cell level ( GH-101631 ). The issue is tracked in GH-101391.

DECEMBER 30, 2016

It's been a month since the second progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Add Layered/Stencil rendering. renderer works entirely in linear space (Gamma is no longer supported). Introduction. Implement Decals. Glow Processor.

This, together with dynamic or baked-in lighting and shadows, enables the creation of amazing photorealistic material that nevertheless operates in real time. For instance, it has advanced rendering capabilities for the industry. The shapes used to create meshes inside the game engine are called polygons.

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.
