Nanite does a few things:

- continuous lod as this library does

- software rasterization for small single pixel triangles which reduces quad overdraw

- deferred materials (only material IDs and some geometry properties are written in the geometry pass to the gbuffers, which things like normal maps, base colour, roughness maps, etc being applied later with a single draw call per material)

- efficient instancing and batching of meshes and their mesh patches to allow arrows of objects to scale well as object count grows

- (edit, added later as I forgot) various streaming and compression techniques to efficiently stream/load at runtime and reduce runtime memory usage and bandwidth like vertex quantization etc.
