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

CG Spectrum

FEBRUARY 1, 2023

3D modelers apply many processes to improve the look and usability of their assets when creating the characters, props, and sets that feature in your favorite video games and films. One important technique to master, particularly for video games, is level of detail (LOD). will be required.

Our main goal was to create an easy to pick, approachable couch multiplayer game for up to four players. Graphic simplicity was dictated by the general idea of the game’s casualty. We’ve decided to set our game in a low-poly setting for the sake of readability. Almost every 3D asset is painted using only one atlas texture.

I would like to thank hugely Matias Goldberg for his enormous help on this, our patrons for their continued support, and Tim Sweeney and Epic Games for their confidence in helping us finance our research via Epic Megagrant. SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures).

Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. Static batching : combines static (not moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way. In my case I had terrible FPS with just some thousand mesh instances.

The new 3D renderer is state-of-the-art, with features rarely see in game engines today, such as: Full principled BSDF. Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Godot will pick the right compression for textures when importing for mobile, and supply them over the network. It's also very easy to use.

Instead of computing the amount of light that reaches a certain surface every frame for every light source, we precompute all this information and store it in a single texture. The process of generating light map texture coordinates takes a while, and it was being triggered on every scene reimport. Student: Suhas Prasanna ( psuhas77 ).
