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. These texture maps are then applied to the lower polygon count model to give it a more detailed and realistic appearance.
