With a DistanceLOD node, thechildren to be rendered can be exchanged depending on the distance betweenthe object and the camera. Usually the DistanceLOD is applied to reduce thelevel of detail of the geometry when the camera is far away from an object and toincrease the geometry details when the camera is close to it by switching betweendifferent geometries. This keeps the frame rate high. To set up which child shouldbe drawn for which distance range, open the Scene » NodeEditor and edit therange property. If the DistanceLOD node has N children, you should specify N-1range values (comma separated floating point values are accepted). Each valueconstitutes a distance threshold between two adjacent ranges corresponding toa specific level of detail.» Sound Creates a Sound node. With a Sound node, sound files can be embeddedinto a scene. To enter the source of a sound file, select Scene » NodeEditor »SoundFile.» SoundObstructor Creates a SoundObstructor node.
