chris soyer Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'm new to Houdini, but baptism by fire is how we do I need a LOD type effect in Houdini. I see there is an LOD sop but thats only for viewport efficency right? I'd like to be able to swap 2-3 pre-built models based on distance from the camera. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibarrick Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 One way would be to use the polyreduce sop commbined with a switch sop and a expression that reads the position of the camera and switches inputs based on that distance. You could even just use the polyreduce sop to mimick what the lod sop does. Never understood why that lod sop only works in the viewport... You could get more sophisticated by writing them out and building the switching into the delayed read archive parameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
