The number of graphic objects in a visual tile rendered varies as a function of distance between the tile and a viewpoint in a simulation. Fewer objects are rendered when the tile is far from the viewpoint, and vise versa. A level of detail (LOD) value is pseudo-randomly selected and associated with each object, indicating the maximum distance at which the object will be visible. A current LOD value is determined for the tile. An object is rendered if its LOD value is equal or greater than the current LOD value of the tile. Objects are faded into and out of view by modulating an opacity value as the current LOD value changes. Texture values of an object are adjusted as a function of ambient and direct components of light on the object, to achieve lighting corresponding to time of day, current season, and / or region in the simulated world.

A magnetic transducer element (22) is formed by rotating an integral region of a shaft (20) about an axis (A—A) in the presence of a magnetic source (30). An annulus (42) of magnetisation results in having its magnetisation in the axial direction. The exterior magnetic field (40) emanated by the annulus (42) exhibits respective axial magnetic profiles of its axially and radially directed components (FIGS. 7 and 8) which have an axial shift under torque. The direction of profile shift depends on the rotational direction of the shaft (20) while magnetisation proceeds.
