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.

This is also a stage where you should not rush in order to get a perfect mesh flow. I used a Blinn Shader on the asset to spot any issues with the mesh. A high poly mesh model of the gun came into being. Then I unwrapped the low poly mesh model into three UV sets in order to get a good resolution of the textures.

Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This mesh can be modeled like traditional clay with a vast array of tools, giving modelers more freedom and flexibility in their work. This process is called retopology and represents an industry of its own.

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. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Just don't reuse a mesh and instance it in different scales.

Godot shader language is one of the easiest ones to use of any engine. The material is what you set to 2D nodes or to 3D meshes in order to draw them. Is every bit of grass a mesh and an object?

In my opinion, this feature is rather useless and I don't think any mainstream 3D engine supports extra object pivots either. In a scene description format, materials can be contained in instances (as in, the instance is the mesh used, the transform in the world, and the material) or inside meshes (mesh comes with a material).

There are two main issues with visualization when it comes to adjustible meshes (the “body sliders”). The way that all of the customizable character data is stored isn’t actually a body at all, but a common default mesh with offsets for each adjustible value. The engine gives the thumbs up and the model with those values gets rendered.

In order to deform the mesh according to the bone transforms, each vertex (generally "point of a triangle") can be influenced by up to 4 bones. The actual deformation usually happens in the vertex shader , where the bone transforms get looked up from a texture. (In In rendering, textures are used for sooo many things.
