[Papervision3D] Event for Know when object is outside to the scene

[Fábio Burkard]

Thanks for the link, I was looking for something like this, too.

One (related) question: does PV3D uses some kind of "field of view" control
of texture's quality? I mean, some game engines use algorithms that
automatically reduce textures quality if the objects are far away from the
camera.

Another thing is that this engines do, is DO NOT EVEN TRY to render (or take
in consideration) objects that are not in the camera field of view. This
happens not only if the object is behind the camera, but also if there is
another object blocking the view (a sphere on the other side of a wall, for
example, wouldn't be considered by the render engine).

You get the idea behind this, right? With a lot of objects, the fps can be
drastically affected with this.

Sorry if this is commented on PV3D's documentation, but I didn't found it.
If it is, a link would be appreciated.

Cheers!
