Description
Level of detail (LOD) techniques are increasingly used by professional real-time developers to strike the balance between breathtaking
virtual worlds and smooth, flowing animation. Level of Detail for 3D Graphics brings together, for the first time, the mechanisms,
principles, practices, and theory needed by every graphics developer seeking to apply LOD methods.
Continuing advances in level of
detail management have brought this powerful technology to the forefront of 3D graphics optimization research. This book, written by
the very researchers and developers who have built LOD technology, is both a state-of-the-art chronicle of LOD advances and a practical
sourcebook, which will enable graphics developers from all disciplines to apply these formidable techniques to their own work.
