auto
Syntax
member(whichCastmember
).model(whichModel
).lod.auto
Description
3D lod
modifier property; allows the modifier to manage the reduction of detail in the model as the distance between the model and the camera changes.
The setting of the modifier's bias
property determines how aggressively the modifier removes detail from the model when the auto
property is set to TRUE
.
The modifier updates its level
property as it adjusts the model's level of detail. Setting the level
property has no effect unless the auto
property is set to FALSE
.
The #lod
modifier can only be added to models created outside of Director in 3D modeling programs. The value of the type
property of the model resources used by these models is #fromFile
. The modifier cannot be added to primitives created within Director.
Example
This statement sets the auto
property of the lod
modifier of the model named Spaceship to TRUE
. The modifier will automatically set the model's level of detail.
member("3D World").model("Spaceship").lod.auto = TRUE
