[name]

Level of Detail - Show meshes with more or less geometry based on distance.

Example

[example:webgl_lod LOD]


		var lod = new THREE.LOD();
		
		//Create 5 levels of spheres
		for( var i = 0; i < 5; i++ ) {
			
			var geometry = new THREE.IcosahedronGeometry( 10, 5 - i )
			
			new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
			
			lod.addLevel( mesh, i * 50 );
			
		}

Constructor

[name]()

Properties

[property:array levels]

An array of [page:object level] objects

level is an object with two properties.

distance -- The distance at which to display this level of detail
object -- The Object3D which will be displayed

Methods

[method:null addLevel]( [page:Object3D mesh], [page:Float distance] )

mesh -- The Object3D to display
distance -- The distance at which to display this level of detail

Adds a mesh that will display at a certain distance and greater. Typically the further away the distance, the lower the detail on the mesh.

[method:Object3D getObjectForDistance]( [page:Float distance] )

Get a reference to the first [page:Object3D] (mesh) that is greater than supplied distance.

[method:null update]( [page:Camera camera] )

camera -- The current camera

Update the visiblility of the level of detail based on the distance from the camera.

[method:LOD clone]()

Returns a clone of this LOD object and its associated distance specific objects.
