ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 851 Scripting Dictionary This 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. All such models use detail reduction whether or not the lod modifier is attached. Attaching the modifier allows you to control the properties of detail reduction. The modifier cannot be added to primitives created within Director. The lod modifier data is generated by 3D modeling programs for all models. Setting the userData property "sw3d_no_lod = true" allows you to specify that the lod modifier data and memory be released when streaming is complete. Be careful when using the sds and lod modifiers together, because they perform opposite functions (the sds modifier adds geometric detail and the lod modifier removes geometric detail). Before adding the sds modifier, it is recommended that you disable the lod.auto modifier property and set the lod.level modifier property to maximum resolution, as follows: member("myMember").model("myModel").lod.auto = 0 member("myMember").model("myModel").lod.level = 100 member("myMember").model("myModel").addmodifier(#sds) The lod modifier has the following properties: • auto allows the modifier to set the level of detail reduction as the distance between the model and the camera changes. The value of the modifier's level property is updated, but setting the level property will have no effect when the auto property is set to TRUE. • bias indicates how aggressively the modifier removes detail from the model when the modifier's auto property is set to TRUE. The range for this property is from 0.0 (removes all polygons) to 100.0 (removes no polygons). The default setting for this property is 100.0. • level indicates the amount of detail reduction there will be when the modifier's auto property is set to FALSE. The range of this property is 0.0 to 100.00. Note: For more detailed information about these properties, see the individual property entries. Example This example dynamically removes the model Sphere01 from the cast member named 3Dobjects. --Lingo member("3Dobjects").model("Sphere01").lod.auto=1 member("3Dobjects").model("Sphere01").lod.bias=0 // Javascript member("3Dobjects").getPropRef("model",2).lod.auto=1; member("3Dobjects").getPropRef("model",2).lod.bias=0; See also sds (modifier), auto, bias, level, addModifier loop (3D) Usage member(whichCastmember).loop
