# 가변적 LOD(Level of Detail) 시스템
|
||
|
||
## 매 한 줄
|
||
> **"매 LOD = 매 distance/screen-size 에 따라 매 mesh detail 을 매 동적 교체"**. 매 close 매 high-poly, 매 far 매 low-poly. 매 fixed-bucket LOD (LOD0/1/2/3) 매 classic, 매 continuous/clustered LOD (Unreal Nanite, Bevy meshlet) 매 2026 SOTA — 매 hierarchical cluster + GPU culling 으로 매 sub-pixel triangles 까지 매 streaming.
|
||
|
||
## 매 핵심
|
||
|
||
### 매 motivation
|
||
- 매 GPU 매 triangle/pixel budget 유한.
|
||
- 매 멀리 있는 mesh 의 매 millions of triangles 매 1픽셀에 매 수십 — 매 waste + aliasing.
|
||
- 매 적절한 detail 매 close → 매 가까이 모이는 비용 ↓, 매 visual quality ↑.
|
||
|
||
### 매 LOD 종류
|
||
1. **Discrete LOD**: 매 N개의 pre-built mesh, 매 distance threshold 에서 swap. 매 popping 가능.
|
||
2. **Continuous LOD (CLOD)**: edge-collapse 매 progressive mesh, 매 smooth transition. 매 CPU heavy.
|
||
3. **Hierarchical LOD (HLOD)**: 매 region-level 매 single mesh 병합 (먼 city block → 1 mesh).
|
||
4. **Cluster/Meshlet LOD** (Nanite, Bevy 0.13+): 매 mesh를 매 ~128-tri cluster 로 분해 + 매 BVH, 매 GPU 가 매 cluster 단위로 매 select.
|
||
5. **Imposter / Billboard**: 매 texture 1장으로 매 멀리서 fake.
|
||
6. **Tessellation LOD**: 매 GPU tess shader 가 매 dynamic subdivide.
|
||
|
||
### 매 selection criteria
|
||
- **Distance**: euclidean distance 매 가장 단순.
|
||
- **Screen-space size**: bounding sphere → projected pixel size — 매 정확.
|
||
- **Velocity / motion**: 매 빠른 object 매 lower LOD 가용.
|
||
- **Importance**: 매 player focus / center → high LOD.
|
||
|
||
### 매 응용
|
||
1. **Open-world game**: terrain, vegetation, building.
|
||
2. **Voxel world**: chunk LOD by distance.
|
||
3. **Crowd rendering**: 매 distant NPC 매 imposter.
|
||
4. **Vegetation**: tree → bush → billboard.
|
||
5. **CAD 시각화**: 매 model assembly 매 distant simplify.
|
||
|
||
## 💻 패턴
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 1: Three.js LOD basic
|
||
```typescript
|
||
import * as THREE from "three";
|
||
|
||
const lod = new THREE.LOD();
|
||
lod.addLevel(highMesh, 0); // 0–50
|
||
lod.addLevel(midMesh, 50); // 50–200
|
||
lod.addLevel(lowMesh, 200); // 200–500
|
||
lod.addLevel(billboard, 500); // 500+
|
||
|
||
scene.add(lod);
|
||
// renderer 가 매 frame 마다 camera.position 으로 자동 select
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 2: screen-space size 기반
|
||
```typescript
|
||
function selectLOD(obj: THREE.Object3D, camera: THREE.Camera) {
|
||
const sphere = new THREE.Sphere();
|
||
obj.traverse((c) => {
|
||
if (c instanceof THREE.Mesh) c.geometry.computeBoundingSphere();
|
||
});
|
||
const dist = camera.position.distanceTo(obj.position);
|
||
const fov = (camera as THREE.PerspectiveCamera).fov * Math.PI / 180;
|
||
const screenH = window.innerHeight;
|
||
const projected = (sphere.radius / dist) / Math.tan(fov / 2) * screenH;
|
||
|
||
if (projected > 200) return 0; // high
|
||
if (projected > 50) return 1; // mid
|
||
if (projected > 10) return 2; // low
|
||
return 3; // billboard
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 3: voxel chunk LOD
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// each chunk has 4 mesh resolutions
|
||
type Chunk = { x: number; z: number; meshes: [Mesh, Mesh, Mesh, Mesh] };
|
||
|
||
function chunkLOD(c: Chunk, camera: Camera): number {
|
||
const dx = c.x * CHUNK_SIZE - camera.x;
|
||
const dz = c.z * CHUNK_SIZE - camera.z;
|
||
const d = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dz * dz);
|
||
if (d < 100) return 0;
|
||
if (d < 300) return 1;
|
||
if (d < 700) return 2;
|
||
return 3;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 4: hysteresis (popping 완화)
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// LOD swap 시 매 threshold 에 매 hysteresis 추가
|
||
function selectLODHysteresis(dist: number, currentLOD: number): number {
|
||
const THR = [50, 200, 500];
|
||
const HYS = 10; // ±10
|
||
if (currentLOD === 0 && dist > THR[0] + HYS) return 1;
|
||
if (currentLOD === 1 && dist < THR[0] - HYS) return 0;
|
||
if (currentLOD === 1 && dist > THR[1] + HYS) return 2;
|
||
// ...
|
||
return currentLOD;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 5: GPU instancing per LOD
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// 매 LOD level 별 매 InstancedMesh, 매 entity 매 batch
|
||
const instancedHigh = new THREE.InstancedMesh(highGeo, mat, MAX);
|
||
const instancedMid = new THREE.InstancedMesh(midGeo, mat, MAX);
|
||
// per frame: 매 entity 의 LOD 결정 → 매 해당 instance 행렬 update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 6: Bevy meshlet (2026)
|
||
```rust
|
||
// Bevy 0.13+ — meshlet rendering (cluster LOD)
|
||
use bevy::pbr::experimental::meshlet::*;
|
||
|
||
commands.spawn((
|
||
MeshletMesh3d(asset_server.load("model.meshlet_mesh")),
|
||
Transform::default(),
|
||
));
|
||
// GPU 가 매 cluster bvh + screen-space error 로 자동 select
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 7: imposter texture (vegetation)
|
||
```glsl
|
||
// fragment shader: 매 distance > THRESHOLD → 매 sample atlas billboard
|
||
uniform float u_distToCam;
|
||
uniform sampler2D u_imposterAtlas;
|
||
|
||
void main() {
|
||
if (u_distToCam > 200.0) {
|
||
vec4 imp = texture(u_imposterAtlas, vUV);
|
||
if (imp.a < 0.5) discard;
|
||
gl_FragColor = imp;
|
||
} else {
|
||
// full mesh shading
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 8: progressive mesh (edge collapse offline)
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// build time: 매 mesh → edge collapse sequence
|
||
type Collapse = { v0: number; v1: number; targetVertex: number };
|
||
const collapses: Collapse[] = simplify(mesh);
|
||
|
||
// runtime: 매 LOD level k → apply collapses[0..k]
|
||
function applyLOD(mesh: Mesh, level: number) {
|
||
for (let i = 0; i < level; i++) collapseEdge(mesh, collapses[i]);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pattern 9: HLOD region merge
|
||
```typescript
|
||
// 매 build time: cluster 9 buildings → 1 merged mesh per region
|
||
// runtime: distance > 1km → region mesh, < 1km → individual buildings
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 매 결정 기준
|
||
| 상황 | Approach |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| 게임 props (rocks, trees) | Discrete LOD + imposter |
|
||
| Open-world terrain | Quadtree HLOD |
|
||
| Voxel/Minecraft | Chunk LOD by ring |
|
||
| Crowd (1k+ NPC) | Instancing + LOD + imposter |
|
||
| Modern AAA / engine 자체 | Nanite / Bevy meshlet |
|
||
| Scientific visualization | CLOD edge collapse |
|
||
|
||
**기본값**: discrete LOD 3-tier + imposter. 매 engine 이 cluster LOD 매 지원하면 우선.

|

|
||
## 🤖 LLM 활용
|
||
**언제**: 매 large scene, 매 다양한 distance, 매 GPU/CPU bound. 매 1k+ object scene.
|
||
**언제 X**: 매 small scene (single character), 매 fixed camera distance — overhead 만 추가.
|
||
|
||
## ❌ 안티패턴
|
||
- **Anti1: hard popping**: hysteresis/dither 없이 매 instant swap — 매 시각적 jarring.
|
||
- **Anti2: 매 LOD level 별 mesh 따로 load**: 매 GPU memory 폭발. 매 progressive 또는 매 streaming.
|
||
- **Anti3: distance only metric**: 매 huge object 매 멀어도 화면 큼 — screen-size 사용.
|
||
- **Anti4: 매 tick 마다 LOD 재계산 every entity**: 매 batch / spatial hash 로 매 amortize.
|
||
- **Anti5: imposter 의 매 stale lighting**: 매 shadow / time-of-day 안 맞음 — 매 atlas 재생성 필요.
|
||
|
||
## 🧪 검증 / 중복
|
||
- Verified (Unreal Nanite paper SIGGRAPH 2021, Bevy 0.13 meshlet docs, Three.js LOD).
|
||
- 신뢰도 A.
