I'm at a point where I notice a bottleneck with certain views in 3d, and it seems obvious that its due to the number of objects being rendered. In regular 3d they handle this by not rendering objects at a certain distance, IE culling.

Would it be possible to add this?

In particular it would be nice to have the ability to set our own distance for object culling.

Just a shot in the dark, but would an event based toggle for visibility based on distance be applicable?

On the horizontal plane at least. Vertical shouldn't be too difficult either.

Construct already culls anything not in the viewport. But culling itself can have a significant performance overhead if you have tens of thousands of objects.

In C3 3d you will max out at about 100k points for low to mid tier systems.

That being said, in 3d you can have tens of thousands of objects in the viewport.

For the same reasons, and event based approach to culling isn't advisable imo.
