if it's possible to set a option to add the quality near the camera and to decrease them to the increase of the distance?

How should that work?
Should the rays get less accurate, when being in bigger distance?

Would be good to speed up the render, but I don't think, it'd work...

I know that sort of thing is possible in biased renderers, like MentalRay. It may conflict with what unbiased renderers are about, but it would certainly be a sensible feature, somewhat like exit portals.

in mental ray exists a BPS tree that it work in similar way.

Simply by using a depth map to control where the rays have to go mostly...

well what about off camera lightsources? the way youre proposing, anything outside the frame or far from the camera would be ignored...
way i see it, its gotta sample the whole scene to get a good representation of all the light interactions.

Indigo has max quality everywhere, all the time

(only half joking there)

When I get round to MPD/subdivision surfaces, there will probably be some view-dependent subdivision going on then. (smoother surfaces + more tris closer to the camera)
