468Ever noticed that objects in video games look blocky or low-resolution when viewed from a distance? That’s not a glitch—it’s a smart optimization technique called Level of Detail (LOD).
To save resources and maintain high frame rates, game developers create multiple versions of an object:
🔹 High-detail models for up-close views.
🔹 Low-detail models for when objects are far away.
As you move away, the game swaps models dynamically, keeping performance smooth without wasting processing power on details you can’t even see.
