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

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.

GLES2 renderer optimization - 2D batching

Mircosoft Game Dev

While Juan ( reduz ) has been busily working on Vulkan, the rest of the rendering team have not been idle. They have been working on many bug fixes and some improvements to the OpenGL rendering in the 3.x Up until now, the GLES2 2D renderer has been drawing primitives (such as rectangles) on an individual basis. How it works.

3D Content Interoperability with Topology-Free Modeling

Nvidia

The more polygons that an object has, the more detailed it appears, but high numbers of polygons demand more computing power. The polygon layout, or topology, of these items must be planned efficiently and created in advance to minimize the number of polygons and generate objects of the highest grade.

Godot's new renderer, progress report #2

Mircosoft Game Dev

It's been a month since the first progress report , and progress continues towards the new Godot renderer. Little by little every system falls into place, and rendering starts feeling a lot more mature. Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Add Layered/Stencil rendering. Introduction.

Godot's new renderer, progress report #1

Mircosoft Game Dev

As many of you have probably heard, a new rendering backend is being worked on for Godot. Our goal is to have a modern, clustered renderer that supports everything mainstream engines support, including PBR, global illumination and flexible shader editing. Refactor the rendering API to make it easier to understand (and contribute to!).
