Scenekit - level of detail for materials/textures

Question

Is it possible to have different materials resolutions for different level of details (SCNLevelOfDetail)?

I know SCNLevelOfDetail is supposed to be used with different Geometries resolution, but what about materials/textures?

Example:

• For a extremely close up, I would have a very high resolution texture.
• For a far away view, I would have a lower resolution texture.

thanks!

Answer 1

Materials are attached to geometries. You can copy the SCNGeometry and then change its materials. The copy is cheap (because the underlying vertex data is shared) and you can create a SCNLevelOfDetail with it.
