I was digging around and didn't really find anything about this,
but I was curious if it's possible to swap agents post-sim for lower LOD variants.

I have several models with the same rigs / animation, so I am wondering if it's as easy as re-directing some intrinsic attribute or something.

Any ideas anyone?
This seems like it would be pretty important for anyone trying to get crowds out of Houdini/Mantra.

I think they are going over this, in one of the masterclasses on Vimeo, if i remember correctly.
