LOD model, what is it?

Defonten · Jan 2015

Hi guys,

I'm given a task of modeling a slightly higher poly version of some quite primitive polygonal object, besides that, it is said that I have to make a LOD model of it also. It means another object. What those Lods really are and are they meant to be higher or lower poly versions of the main object??

Thanks!

LOD (Level of detail) is lower poly version of base model rendered when camera is far from object (You don't have to render high quality object since it is not close to cam).

lod means "level of detail" and is referring to an optimized model with less polygones

simply make a quick search for "lod model" here or in the web

Got it! I kinda "feeled" that it must be something optimized but wanted to be sure )
Thanks a lot!
