Hi,  
I am trying to load gltf files using three gltf-loader but there happen to be some distortions with few of the models, so I tried decreasing the ‘camera.near’ value. But when it is reduced, some models get clipped early i.e, the models go behind the camera. So I would like to set the ‘camera.near’ value for each object. What will be the best way to calculate the same?

Thanks,  
Binoy

`camera.near` and `camera.far` are used to configure the shared depth buffer, they can’t be changed on a per-object basis. Try to make `camera.far` as low as it can safely be without clipping, and `camera.near` as high as it can safely be without clipping, to maximize depth buffer precision. Enabling a logarithmic depth buffer can sometimes be helpful for scenes with a very large variation in object distances.

Thank you @donmccurdy for your reply, I thought It would be possible to compute the near and far planes using the bounding box
