Level of Detail (LOD) 1.0.0 3D Tools 3.5 Community

Submitted by user Calinou; MIT; 2023-03-13

This add-on provides level of detail for meshes, lights and particles. It can be used to improve performance in large scenes significantly.

Features:
- Supports lights, meshes and particles (Particles and CPUParticles).
- Each node has its own LOD distance properties, but you can also define a LOD bias project setting to improve visual quality or performance for the target hardware.
- Lights can have their shadow smoothly fade off with distance, then the light itself smoothly fade off as well.
- Works with both the GLES3 and GLES2 renderers.
- Written in performance-conscious GDScript. Easy to install and use, but scales to hundreds of LOD instances (and perhaps thousands on more powerful hardware).
