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

CG Spectrum

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. will be required. Before using their automated LODs, set up and define your LOD groups in the settings menu first.

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.

Realistic Lighting in Justice with Mesh Shading

Nvidia

Soon we found we can combine Mesh Shaders with auto-generated LODs to achieve almost only-resolution-relevant rendering complexity, instead of polygon number. With such detailed models, large texture resolution is a must. We will pay more attention to texture loading or streaming. And we decided to try it out.

A comprehensive guide to in-demand roles in film and games

CG Spectrum

For instance, a model may also need to be under a certain polygon count, or it may need to be constructed in a way that will optimize the deformation and animation process. 3D modeling software 3D modelers use a range of software for modeling, sculpting, and texturing. 3D model by Christoph Jurgens What does a 3D modeler do?

NVIDIA RTX, Unreal Engine 5 Define Future of Game Development and Content Creation

Nvidia

This laid out a vision of a new era of computer graphics for video games that featured photorealistic, ray-traced lighting, AI-powered effects and complex worlds with massive amounts of geometry and high-resolution textures.

Godot's new renderer, progress report #2

Mircosoft Game Dev

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. Shadow atlases exist for Spot and Omni lights (Directional uses its own texture, and multiple directional lights need several passes). How the atlas texture is organized is up to the user, though the default is sensible enough to work in most cases.

3D Art Styles For Games

Moonmana

A vast majority of all triple-A projects – simulators, shooters, strategy games, and others – are developed in this style. In low poly style, everything in a game is made of geometrical shapes – polygons. Low poly art has no textures but poses a strong focus on shapes, materials, and lighting. .
