visible sides

[raft]

hi all,

first of all i must mention jpct really seems great

i am just a newbea at computer graphics and toying with it to grasp the basics.

i loaded a 3ds model and rotate the camera around it. for a model with one or two objects it is all-well. but with three, four or more objects, i couldnt manage to draw them properly. they are either not drawn or drawn half like the camera at completely different point.

first i suspected if 3dmax exporting fails. i retried it one object in 3ds file and cloning object or by reloading the file. still couldnt manage it.

stranger enough world.getVisibilityList().getSize() seems to remain constant at 4097.

what may be wrong ? below is the complete source. you may try it with any 3ds file.

here is the answer (self service :idea: )

by default Config.maxPolysVisible is 4096 which does not allow any additional polies to be drawn

That's right...but you can set this value to anything your machine permits. Just do that before instanciating the World and you are fine.
