    Hi, everyone!

    Unity Manual said that LOD (levels of detail) depends on how far the camera is from the object.
    Can we use the distance between the object and the main player to figure out LOD?

    Thanks in advance.

    That wouldn't make sense, LOD is a visual effect to lessen rendering load

    What you may be thinking off is interaction bubble, which is LOD but for interaction (ie not visible), basically things that are far from the player have simplified or deactivated interaction update (unless it's visually important)
