This is a manual trackback. I’ve just used this trick to decimate objects based on their respective distance to the camera. Please have a look and comment:

well you really could just use this and a pyDriver to set up LOD.
this is awesome.

Now if only:

A) It would get directly implemented in Blender.

B) We could connect it to a “Distance” Node with a camera, to do realtime / rendertime LOD. (Yes, I’m speaking Houdini.)

I’d certainly find the feature(s) useful.

Hehe, thanks! :)

Well, I don’t mind the publicity. I wouldn’t go to the trouble of writing this stuff up if I didn’t want to share it with anybody, so as far as I’m concerned, the more people that it gets out to, the better.

I would be very happy though to see more variety from more people doing this sort of thing (tricks, experiments, r&d type stuff) and writing about it. I’m always curious to see what sort of tricks or inventions other people have figured out.

cheers buddy, hope you’re doing well
