terrain - terrain handle
detail_level - detail level of terrain vertex_morph (optional) - True to enable vertex morphing of terrain. Defaults to False. |
Sets the detail level for a terrain. This is the number of triangles used to represent the terrain. A typical value is 2000.
The optional vertex_morph parameter specifies whether to enable vertex morphing. It is recommended you set this to True, as it will reduce the visibility of LOD 'pop-in'. |
