Increase default geometric detail on characters and patches
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This significantly reduces visible LOD transitions and
allows curves in level geometry to be more detailed.

Given how modern GPUs (even integrated graphics) can handle lots
of polygons well, this has very little performance cost nowadays.
