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. For example, when viewing an object from far away, only basic features such as color and geometry may need to be visible.

The gun has metallic surfaces and I wanted that successfully simulated. 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. They define how the texture wraps around the model.
