it's just a technique for substituting less detailed textures for richer 
textures the closer something is to the camera.  First time I saw it in 
full glory was in the N64 game Goldeneye.  From the distance, walls 
looked detailed enough, but once you came near them, *real* detail began 
to smoothly blend in to the larger granite texture, like tiny crackles 
and ridges... that was amazing for the time...
