I'll fire a small series of questions about a project and I'd prefer to separate them in order to keep things more organized for people that could answer/read.

I'd need to have a (BIG) mesh and to explore it with a gl.camera.

I want to be able to trigger alteration of it but just near from the camera (for aesthetic and performance reasons)

geometries will be meshes, gridshape.. whatever

vertex shader related to the camera could be the key.

Any leads for that ?

i would parse your mesh into smaller sections, and use a jit.gl.mesh for each section. that will make it easier to isolate the relevant section (proximity to the camera), and should make updating the relevant section easier. you will have to manage the date yourself, e.g. keeping the "seams" joined (by sending duplicate data for those vertices).

But I'd need to have a pre calculated / planned camera path no ?

I'd like to be able to make the camera "flying" randomly, slowly, around the structure

That's smart !

not sure why that would make a difference to what you're asking

I guess the idea is to have a "kind of" octree of the space and depending where my cam is, to alter the part of space.

Not sure I understood it well, so.

Geometry alteration just in front of the camera ?
