I've just discovered a treasure! I've taken a look at several of your videos and I can see the effort and dedication you've put into your work. I wanted to say that I appreciate what you've done and have subscribed. Your explanation are clear and well representative. I'm bewildered as to how you've gone mostly unnoticed but I hope that status changes. Thank you again and keep up this amazing work.

It's an okay explanation of LOD, but I think you should have started by pointing out that the further away a 3D model is, the fewer pixels it takes up on screen. In other words, that a high or low poly model makes little difference when it's in effect rendered at "low resolution".

That's kind of the key point to level-of-detail rendering.

So for proxy geo that is a combined mesh and material prop. when and where is this the best method to use. the only example i am currently thinking of is if the mesh is no longer viewable to the player although the player is nearby the mesh. lets say behind a wall or within a room. does anyone have any other examples i would love to know, please and thank you.
