LOD vs FOV

[raster]

OR have a problem with LOD when the FOV is low. In my opinion, the LOD should increase with decreasing FOV, because some parts of the objects that should be visible, disappear.

Examples:

at close quarters:

from afar:

from afar, but the FOV:

IMO this bug makes an interesting observation of how changing the FOV alters the *apparent* distance between camera and object.

Is there a simple math calculation that can be computed whenever the FOV changes from "normal" to be used as a simple adjustment value to object defined LOD values?

[James Ross (twpol)]

I think we could do so, because it's all ratios: half the FOV makes things twice as large, as if they were half as far away.
