Sobre este libro

If a modern video game rendered every single leaf on a distant mountain with the same graphical fidelity as the character standing right in front of the camera, the console's graphics card would instantly overheat and crash. To simulate vast, detailed worlds, software engineers use a brilliant, aggressive optimization technique known as Level of Detail (LOD) management. This technical deep-dive explores the brutal math of mesh decimation. As an object moves further away from the player's virtual camera, the game engine actively deletes thousands of polygons from its 3D model, seamlessly swapping the high-resolution sculpture for a low-quality, blocky stand-in. Because the object is far away, the human eye completely fails to notice the graphical downgrade. We dissect the intricate algorithms required to calculate these transitions in real-time, and analyze the infamous "pop-in" effect that occurs when the processor fails to swap the models fast enough. Master the illusion of endless detail. Understand how game developers actively destroy the geometry of their own worlds to save the processing power required to run them.
