This page contains information on using a LOD
block in your ShaderLabUnity’s language for defining the structure of Shader objects. More info
See in Glossary code to assign a LODThe Level Of Detail (LOD) technique is an optimization that reduces the number of triangles that Unity has to render for a GameObject when its distance from the Camera increases. More info
See in Glossary (level of detail) value to a SubShader.
Feature name | Universal Render PipelineA series of operations that take the contents of a Scene, and displays them on a screen. Unity lets you choose from pre-built render pipelines, or write your own. More info See in Glossary (URP) |

ShaderLab: SubShader LOD block | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
In ShaderLab, you assign a LOD value to a SubShader by placing a LOD
block inside a SubShader
block.
Signature | Function |

LOD [value] | Assigns the given LOD value to the SubShader. |
In the Built-in Render Pipeline, Unity’s built-in shadersA program that runs on the GPU. More info
