Preview from the original source by WaffleBoyTom

Overview

WaffleBoyTom shares CameraFrustumCullHDA on GitHub, an HDA that culls points outside of a camera frustum after the path to a camera is added and padding is set. Version 2.0 computes distance and normalized distance to the camera and adds occlusion culling and depth culling, and version 3.0 adds a frustum visualizer and support for VDBs and volumes.

The repository keeps all three versions as separate Indie-format files, from sop_tom.dev.camera_frustum_cull_wbt.1.0.hdalc to the 3.0 file, and the README links a demo video and an update showcase. It is a free direct download from GitHub, and no licence file is included.
