Problem with model quality using FOV and ZOOM

[Chiblue]

I am using a sniper simulation in my project and have a variable zoom, the problem I have is that when I am far away from an object but zooom in the object is using it's low polygon model which really does not look very realistic, should the model quality being used be based on the relative distance based on the FOV or zoom setting and not the actuall camera distance?

 

Or is there a way I can set this?

You can't do anything about it at the moment, but it makes sense to me to add a setting to allow adjusting a global LOD distance multiplier.

Well, he could not have LOD's and just have the 1 mesh. Sure it'll add polys but he won't have this issue.

For now I will avoid using lid but performane maybe an issue.

Might be a bit overdue, but can't you make a function that checks if the zoom is enabled and then loops through all entities to set the lod back to 1.

Makes sense, and would be handy. Would vegetation layers using the billboarding be covered to unde a global LOD distance multiplier?

Is there a way of identifying which models are within the camera's view?

Get
EntityCulled

   * C: int EntityCulled( TEntity entity, TEntity camera )
   * C++: bool Entity::IsCulled( const Camera& cam ) const
   * BlitzMax: EntityCulled%( entity:TEntity, camera:TCamera )
   * Lua: entity:Culled( camera )
   * Pascal: function EntityCulled ( entity:THandle; camera:THandle ): Integer; 

   Returns 0 if the entity is visible from the specified camera, else 1 is returned.

You could try EntityCulled but last time I tried to use it didn't work as expected. You may have to do your own field of view maths like line of sight maths then do foreachentityAABB.
