MeshDetailMode

MeshDetailModes ProceduralPlanets.PlanetManager.MeshDetailMode

staticgetset

Sets or gets if a static (MeshDetailModes.Static) sized mesh or 2 or more Level Of Detail (MeshDetailModes.LOD) meshes should be used for planets.

When set to a new value, the procedural meshes are recreated based on the new mode and the properties MeshStaticSubdivisions or MeshLODSubdivisions.

// This example requires a PlanetManager instance to be present in the scene. 
// Add the "Procedural Planets/Prefabs/PlanetManager" prefab to the scene first. 
// Then create another gameobject and attach this example script to it.

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
 void Start() 
 {
 // Create a random planet at the center of the scene
 PlanetManager.CreatePlanet(Vector3.zero);

 // Set the Mesh Detail Mode to Level of Detail (LOD)
 PlanetManager.MeshDetailMode = PlanetManager.MeshDetailModes.LOD;

 // Set number of LOD levels to 5
 PlanetManager.MeshLODSteps = 5;

 // Set the mesh detail levels by using an array of subdivision levels
 // The first value in the array is the highest level of detail and the last value in the array is the lowest quality
 PlanetManager.MeshLODSubdivisions = new int[5] { 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 };

 // Set the planet sizes used to transition between mesh LOD levels
 // Note: There are only 4 entries in this array because it specifies the size *between* the LOD levels.
 // The float values in the array represent the ratio between screen height and the height of a planet as seen by the camera.
 // E.g. the value 0.5f = when the planet takes up half the screen height. 
 PlanetManager.MeshLODPlanetSizes = new float[4] { 0.6f, 0.4f, 0.2f, 0.05f }; 
 }
