DESCRIPTION:About Godot's LOD and HLOD capabilities\; talk is beginner frie
 ndly but also contains items that should be interesting to veteran users.\
 n\n- LOD and HLOD basics and pitfalls (of which there are quite a few)\n- 
 How to improve cross fades beyond the default offered methods\n- Shadow is
 sues stemming from cross-fade use and their workarounds \n- Godot's defaul
 t spherical approximation LOD selection method (visualized\, and its impli
 cations for wide-screen supporting games\, among others)\n- The infamously
  vague (yet well behaved and useful) ArrayMesh add_surface LOD argument (g
 oing onto rendering server culler's edge-length).\n- Alternative LOD Selec
 tion methods in existence (visualized\, and demo with custom Godot build s
 upporting them)\n- The "Threshold pixels" project settings and per item/vi
 ewport LOD biases\n\nThis talk is a good background primer for my other ta
 lk: "The long road to a million trees"
