/** LOD - Level Of Detail group node which allows switching between children
    depending on distance from eye point.
    Typical uses are for load balancing - objects further away from
    the eye point are rendered at a lower level of detail, and at times
    of high stress on the graphics pipeline lower levels of detail can
    also be chosen by adjusting the viewers's Camera/CullSettings LODScale value.
    Each child has a corresponding valid range consisting of a minimum
    and maximum distance. Given a distance to the viewer (d), LOD displays
    a child if min <= d < max. LOD may display multiple children simultaneously
    if their corresponding ranges overlap. Children can be in any order,
    and don't need to be sorted by range or amount of detail. If the number of
    ranges (m) is less than the number of children (n), then children m+1 through
    n are ignored.
