LOD Generation

LOD generation creates simplified variants of the mesh for distance rendering. The goal is stable silhouette and stable shading at lower cost.

How to think about LODs

• LOD0: production mesh
• LOD1+: progressively cheaper while preserving silhouette
• Protect what defines the read of the asset

Validation

• Check silhouette at distance
• Check shading for flicker/noise
• Check UV continuity if UVs matter per LOD
