If they are all individual objects then set camera range .1, 100 will auto hide all objects over 100 units away. You can also loop through and check each objects distance to the camera and if it is 100 or more then hide object.


or similar.

just pointing out the missing + sign which should go between the y and z terms. (Not meaning to be picky - I know it was just a typo, but incase anyone hasn't come across the equation before and didn't realise)
