pure ecs LOD meshes

So I have created a planet by making multiple chunks which form a sphere, that works, I also added a chunk loading system that loads and unload the chunks depending on their distance form the camera, that was even easier, but now I'm trying to add a LOD system on top of the chunk loading system. I'm trying to implement this by creating 3 other meshes at increasingly lower resolution, but the problem is IDK how to store that information, so I tried to create another system that created 4 new child entities under each chunk, since I don't need the children to have any transforms, I have only added a RenderMesh and Parent components to them, I now I need to fill up that RenderMesh up, so I go ahead and

Code (CSharp):

1. eManager.SetComponentData<RenderMesh>(eManager.GetComponentData<Child>(ents[chunk]),
2.                         new RenderMesh { mesh = mesh, material = material });

, but that doesn't work, so what do I do?

 

You have two options here.
Using CullingGroup, to build own custom LOD, or is Unit (DOTS) LOD system.
Checkout Unity samples, for LOD examples.

 

Could you show me a code example if you can please

 

As I mentioned, please look into DOTS samples on github.
You can also search for LOD on Unit DOTS subforum. There are number of discussions and you should be able find some examples.
