I did this, split the input point cloud into 3 LODs with the number of
points in the ratio 1:2:4, each of which is tiled into 100m squares, and
overlapped the LOD ranges so that the smallest LOD is always visible and
the others are added in as the viewpoint gets closer. Works well up to
70 million points or so, then I seem to hit some variable size limit or
something that I haven't had a chance to chase down.
