No way to keep a particle sys density consistent through its usage.

having a particles count per m² or km² could be really more useful, as it give a true idea of the density.

If not enough display option, visualizing complex biomes is almost impossible. Or at least not confortable at all. You cannot expect blender users to play with psys parameters blindly with bounding boxes.

Blender doesn't have enough Viewport Display Optimisation features

Hello. i think that blender don’t have enough features for optimizing viewport display (for too complex objects) here’s a first concept: Display as X object [18359283_10154904020167663_1338897227240068671_o] In the object display Viewport display properties, let user choose his display object. for example: user choose 'display as “low_poly_tree.001” and the low poly object is going to used only in viewport. in rendered view and final render the high poly tree is going to be rendered. (exa…

so here’s contents that need to be implemented:

• “display as proxy” in > properties editor > object > viewport display options
• “display as point cloud” in > properties editor > object > viewport display options
• “display as decimated” in > properties editor > object > viewport display options

please see post above for more explanations
