bias

Syntax

    member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).lod.bias

Description

3D `lod` modifier property; indicates how aggressively the modifier removes detail from the model when its `auto` property is set to `TRUE`. This property has no effect when the modifier's `auto` property is set to `FALSE.`

The range for this property is from 0.0 (removes all polygons) to +100.0 (removes no polygons). The default setting is 100.0.

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 `bias` property of the `lod` modifier of the model named Spaceship to 10. If the `lod` modifier's `auto` property is set to `TRUE`, the modifier will very aggressively lower the level of detail of Spaceship as it moves away from the camera.

    member("3D World").model("Spaceship").lod.bias = 10
