Fix LOD upscaling in render form UE5

I previously recommended playing with lod transitions, but my mistake, lod transitions with movie renders doesn’t work! (it’s disabled)

We do have an open issue to make this work though,

Support LOD transition periods for offline tile selection

When #543 is merged, we will support a transition period where tiles from the or…iginal and target LOD are both kept alive. A parameter representing the fade percentage is swept throughout the period so that clients know how faded to render each tile. To achieve this evolving fade percentage, a new `deltaTime` parameter was added to `Tileset::updateView` to decide how much to change the fade percentage based on how much time had elapsed since the last frame. However, the way `updateViewOffline` works is it repeatedly calls `updateView` until there are no tiles that are still loading. This seems awkward with the new `deltaTime` argument, since an individual call to `updateView` doesn't have a sensible delta time that could be associated with it. We should find a way to support lod transition periods for offline tile selection as well (e.g., a client might use it to smooth transitions in a high-res offline render). This might require one of the following approaches: - Decouple the transition code from the traversal itself so that the traversal can run back-to-back several times and the transition can be applied afterwards. This might require managing further state information to track the result of not just a single traversal, but a sequence of traversals. - Or we can reimplement `updateViewOffline` to work with a single BVH traversal, by parameterizing the traversal to "demand" the ideal resolution tiles by blocking and waiting, instead of kicking and "settling" for lower-res tiles.

I think it would still help this use case.
