Independent actions

Independent actions don't require triggers. The following independent actions are available.

Name | Effect | Description
--- | --- | ---
Automatic Model Rotation | Motion | Automatically rotates a model around a given axis and continues rotating it while the movie is playing. To rotate the model around multiple axes, attach multiple instances of the behavior to the sprite and select the desired axis for each one.
Level of Detail | Model | Enables the level of detail (LOD) modifier for the model. Dynamically lowers the number of polygons used to render the model as its distance from the camera increases. Reduces demands on the CPU.
Model Rollover Cursor | Model | Changes the mouse cursor to the cursor of your choice when the mouse rolls over the given model.
Show Axis | Debugging | Establishes red, green, and blue lines along the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively, enabling you to see them in the 3D scene.
Subdivision Surfaces | Model | Enables the subdivision surfaces (SDS) modifier for the given model, which synthesizes additional detail to smooth out curves as the model's distance from the camera decreases.
Toon | Model | Enables the toon modifier, which renders the model in a cartoon style, with a reduced number of colors and distinct boundaries. The user can set the toon style very precisely, choosing the number of colors, line color, brightness and darkness of highlights and shadows, and anti-aliasing.
