In this pic, you can see the difference in detail in the house texture. The top floor is more detailed than the bottom floor. This is usually a result of draw distance of Level or Detail (LOD) settings dictating the detail dropping off at a distance, like in the below shot.

As you can see, the detail in this shot is dropping off the further away you get from the building and the texture.
My question: what is causing the lower LOD in the first shot? The top floor and bottom floor appear to be the exact same distance away from the camera, so why the two different levels of detail? Does it have something to do with the shadows being cast on it by the building itself?
Thanks.
This all means that is done on low power PC. Program try to optimze for the acceptable frame rate and good overal picture around.
However second shot maybe from early shots. Do not recognize this.
