                        Simple screen-space Lod determination algorithm.

                        The idea here is simple. We take the bounding sphere of the model
                        and project it into clip space. From there we measure the area of the
                        ellipse in screen space and determine what percent of the total
                        screen it takes up.

                        With that percentage we can determine which Lod we want to use.
