Description

Idea is to allow users to have LOD with a small custom script, while a better system is being designed. Starting point for such a script: https://github.com/xenko3d/xenko/issues/37#issuecomment-410456584

It could either be an asset template or a component in the Engine class (first option is maybe better so that it is not hardcoded in engine and user can customize/extend it).

Probably need to adjust how to find current camera, and ideally gamestudio should automatically fill the ModelComponent to the one contained in the Entity this script is added to.

Research direction
Review the starting point script linked in the issue (https://github.com/xenko3d/xenko/issues/37#issuecomment 410456584). Investigate how the current camera is found in the engine's rendering pipeline, as this script needs to adjust for that. Decide between implementing as an asset template or a component in the Engine class, considering the trade off between ease of customization and hardcoding. Also, explore how Gamestudio can automatically fill the ModelComponent for the entity this script is attached to. Look at existing similar scripts or components in the Stride codebase for patterns.
