Detailed Description

Level of detail strategy based on distance from camera.

This is an abstract base class for DistanceLodBoxStrategy and DistanceLodSphereStrategy.

Remarks
The purpose of the reference view is to ensure a consistent experience for all users. Monitors of different resolutions and aspect ratios will each have different results for the distance queries.
It depends on gameplay testing. If all testers had 16:9 monitors and 110° FOV, then that's the value you should enter (to ensure as much as possible the experience stays consistent for all other users who don't have a 16:9 monitor and/or use a different FOV).
If all your testers had 4:3 monitors, then enter a 4:3 resolution.
If all your testers had varying resolutions or you just didn't care, then this feature is useless for you and should be disabled (default: disabled).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DistanceLodStrategyBase()

Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::DistanceLodStrategyBase ( const String name)

Default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getBaseValue()

Real Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::getBaseValue ( ) const
overridevirtual

Get the value of the first (highest) level of detail.

Implements Ogre::LodStrategy.

◆ getSquaredDepth()

virtual Real Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::getSquaredDepth ( const MovableObject movableObject,
const Ogre::Camera camera 
) const
pure virtual

Get the squared depth from camera to the LOD object.

Implemented in Ogre::DistanceLodBoxStrategy, and Ogre::DistanceLodSphereStrategy.

◆ isReferenceViewEnabled()

bool Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::isReferenceViewEnabled ( ) const

Determine if use of the reference view is enabled.

◆ lodUpdateImpl()

void Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::lodUpdateImpl ( const size_t  numNodes,
ObjectData  t,
const Camera camera,
Real  bias 
) const
overridevirtual

Implements Ogre::LodStrategy.

◆ setReferenceView()

void Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::setReferenceView ( Real  viewportWidth,
Real  viewportHeight,
Radian  fovY 
)

Sets the reference view upon which the distances were based.

Note
This automatically enables use of the reference view.
There is no corresponding get method for these values as they are not saved, but used to compute a reference value.

◆ setReferenceViewEnabled()

void Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::setReferenceViewEnabled ( bool  value)

Enables to disables use of the reference view.

Note
Do not enable use of the reference view before setting it.

◆ transformBias()

Real Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::transformBias ( Real  factor) const
overridevirtual

Transform LOD bias so it only needs to be multiplied by the LOD value.

Implements Ogre::LodStrategy.

◆ transformUserValue()

Real Ogre::DistanceLodStrategyBase::transformUserValue ( Real  userValue) const
overridevirtual

Transform user supplied value to internal value.

Remarks
By default, performs no transformation.
Do not throw exceptions for invalid values here, as the LOD strategy may be changed such that the values become valid.

Reimplemented from Ogre::LodStrategy.
