LOD is short for Level of Detail, the mesh swaps to a lower LOD mesh whenever the game needs it to.
The usual reason for doing so being: A model being so far away from the camera to the point where it would be a waste of resources to render the fully detailed mesh.

And if you need it visualized to better understand, Check this video out Diddy Kong Racing Boundry Break.

why is there 3 idential models for each the body, eyes and pant ? i'll take the body for instance the first one is just named "M_Body" then the 2 others "M_Body (LOD: 2)" and "M_Body (LOD: 3)"

what does the LOD mean ?

EDIT : i just noticed LOD 2 has less poly, and LOD 3 even less, can someone tell me why ? is it the only difference ?

What an odd default pose, is there a name for that? I've never seen that before, only T-poses and A-poses, and maybe some A-poses that get close to this because they have slightly bent elbows, but never whatever this is.

anyone know why somes default pose is more like an idle pose than a T-pose, makes it impossible to use mirroring, like flareon, mewtwo, mankey, etc.
