Camera Distance UV Scaling

This is a simple script which interpolates the UV scaling based on the distance to the camera. Very useful for smoothly changing the texture quality of large distant objects like mountains and such.

Edit:
For Godot 4.0  replace CAMERA_MATRIX  with INV_VIEW_MATRIX. Thanks flynsarmy, for the tip.

Shader code

shader_type spatial;

uniform sampler2D main_tex;
uniform float max_dist = 50;
uniform float min_dist = 10;
uniform float res_high = 16.0;
uniform float res_low = 2.0;

void fragment () {
	vec3 world_camera = (CAMERA_MATRIX * vec4(vec3(0.0), 1.0)).xyz;
	vec4 a = CAMERA_MATRIX * vec4(VERTEX, 1.0);
	vec3 low_tex = texture(main_tex, UV * res_low).rgb;
	vec3 hi_tex = texture(main_tex, UV * res_high).rgb;
	ALBEDO = mix(hi_tex, low_tex, smoothstep(min_dist, max_dist, distance(a.xyz, world_camera)));
}
