Level of Detail (LOD)
A Godot 3.x add-on providing level of detail (LOD) for meshes, lights, and particles to significantly improve performance in large scenes.
What is Level of Detail (LOD)?
godot-lod is a level of detail (LOD) add-on for the Godot 3.x game engine that dynamically reduces the complexity of meshes, lights, and particles based on their distance from the camera. It solves performance issues in large 3D scenes by automatically swapping high-detail models for simpler versions as objects move farther away, significantly improving frame rates without noticeable visual degradation up close.
Godot 3.x developers creating large-scale 3D games or simulations where rendering performance is critical, particularly those working with expansive environments, dense object populations, or targeting lower-end hardware.
Developers choose this add-on because it provides a lightweight, engine-integrated LOD solution specifically designed for Godot's workflow, supports multiple node types (meshes, lights, particles), and offers fine-tuned control over performance versus visual quality through per-node and project-wide settings.
