How do games render such vast swaths of the world? This video showcases the level-of-detail (LOD) system that I implemented in my voxel engine. The LOD system ensures that far-away objects are rendered using simplified meshes, allowing the graphics card to quickly churn through them. I address some of the challenges of using LODs, including how to generate them and account for user edits. Then, I show off my new procedural skybox and revamped transparency!
