Hi Allen,
This proposal provides the folder name and the relative LOD ordering, both of which are critical. I would also like to see:
- Some kind of human-readable name, so that the folder name isn't restricted by being pretty.
- Meta-data as to whether the LOD is "lossy" (meaning actual parts of the brick are missing). For example, removing studs, removing inner geometry, or any other "heavy-weight" cuts would make an LOD lossy. But using octagonal studs would not be lossy.
- Ideally, in my fantasy world with the unicorns and flying elephants, some kind of metric to indicate the physical error of each of the higher LODs...in other words, how much different is a 16-stud from a perfect circle, or a 48-stud. For the non-lossy cases, a program could then decide on the fly when the zoom factor makes such an LOD irrelevant.
Cheers
Ben
