While a good LoD system helps with graphics load, it doesn't help with overall memory load (unless it's a PagedLOD), which was the problem with the buildings. We have fairly good LoD solutions for both trees and buildings to help with the graphics loads. For example we display the large buildings are further range than the medium or small. Hopefully people never notice it because it's quite subtle. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
