Summary: We take the idea of Level of Detail (LOD) from its traditional use in computer graphics and apply it to the behavior of virtual characters. We describe how our approach handles LOD determination and how we used it to reduce the simulation quality of multiple aspects of the characters’ behavior in an existing application.
