Level Of Detail
A Level of Detail model (LOD) is a lower-resolution version of the main game model.
The model is swapped to a lower-detail version to improve performance, which improves the framerate.
LOD Metrics
There are many methods for determining when to swap; the most common is based on distance. Another method is to swap depending on how fast the player is moving, because a player typically won't notice the drop in quality for a fast-moving object. Yet another method is to drop to lower LODs when the framerate drops below a certain number.
