Hi Guys, i´m working on optimizing my “Mars Attacks” project….

I noticed that that all of my obejcts ( which have AO included Textures now )
show a visible black flickering when they are farther away from the camera….

I work with Max 2022 and Verge 4.8.0….

Any ideas why this happens…..Backface cull is activated on all oblects…..

Hi Ger,

Let’s try to pin it down. Can it be artefacts from shadows? you might try disabling them for the moment to see if this is so.

My second guess is precision – if there are 2 surfaces close to each other, they can start conflicting at far distances.

Ok …since its not a shadow problem….I gues it is your second opion….i was thinking in the same direction….it is on surfaces underneath which there are other surfaces quite near….

thanks for confirming this…..

since my modells are quite complex i gues i need to do something about the modelling

most likely it’s so-called “z-fighting”. in some cases it can be fixed this way (set near clipping to 1. the default value is usually 0.1)

the most effective way is using logarithmic depth buffer

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

But not with a setting of 1……It looked fine with a setting of 5
