[X3D-Public] Quadric surface

[Alexei Sourin (Assoc Prof)]

Following my email, below is a code defining parametrically a torus with as many LODs as required. It is also available here http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/assourin/teaching/LOD/lod2a.wrl  (with the FVRML plugin installed)



Best Regards,

In FVRML/FX3D LOD can be done at the function level so that for different distances from the observer different rendering (polygonization) resolutions can be defined.

I looked at it a while back, but it has no LODing features

to deal with super big 500,000Km+ models with centimeter detail levels
