T-LOID, I haven't seen anything to suggest that what Factor 5 did was tessellation, but the concept of merging polygons automatically is why tessellation really needs to take off. Instead of models having LoD models, they just have one super detailed model, and it automatically only uses the polygons that are necessary and it works very well.
I'd have thought that this system makes use of tessellation.
Also, how come nobody made this thread when they released their first video like a year or two ago?
isnt lod used over tesselation simply because its better to waste extra memory on lod models instead of wasting processor power on polygon merging?
