On a good flyby you are moving too fast to notice the detail, usually anyway. If it is kept to a constant angle there isn't any movement detected, just a change in scale as you approach or move away. BTW – this is a technique I learned from a visit to SGI. They use it in some of their REALITY ENGINE stuff – because it takes a lot more power and time to render a 3D modelled tree then to texture map an image… Lou
