[B5 RESOLVED] BL Disappearing Terrain Sections

by Steve Acaster · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/11/2009 (6:38 am) · 5 replies

In Basic Lighting, sections of terrain keep disappearing. It's a normal TerrainBlock from the Object Editor.

It seems to be distance based from the camera - and also seems to only happen from the direction of the origin. Look in the other direction and the terrain displays fine in the distance.

Look towards the origin and it vanishes section by section as the camera moves away, or appears section by section as the camera moves towards it.

Nvidia 7900GS

Just on a clean up.

I had this as well. It *seemed* to correct itself after I reload the mission with basic lighting already set. I didn't do extensive testing.

In my case it doesn't. I keep having the same problem. I must say that my configuration only allows basic lighting.

It did this to me also on my macbook (under windows 7) on Beta 4. The terrain around the character disappeared, but every other section was there.
