# LOD steps

Currently limited to 3 lod steps. 

**LOD Start Distance:** At what distance to the camera should this LOD step kick in. 

**Draw every (x) strand:** Increasing this slider will skip rendering every (slider value) strands. So by setting the slider to 3 it will render every third strand and so on. Pseudo code looks something like if(strandIndex % skipStrandsAmount == 0) { renderTheStrand(); } 

**Strands Width Scale:** How much should we increase the width of each strand at this LOD step. Without increasing the width the groom would appear less dense since some strands are not rendered. <br>
