RE: [Algorithms] View-Depend vs. View-Independent LOD

[Tom F. <to...@mu...>]

VIPM is where your collapse order is fixed - the only thing the observer's
position does is choose how many tris to expand/collapse to.

VDPM varies the order of collapse depending on where the view is, so bits
further away from the camera get collapsed before bits near the camera -
stuff like that.

That's it.
