Mesh Edges Flickering?

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hey guys! I’m hoping to get a little help with a problem I’ve been having with my project for quite some time now and can’t seem to figure out how to fix… my problem is that I’m using a procedural city generator script in 3dsmax (it’s called GhostTown), and it’s great! But the problem is that many of the edges of the meshes after being imported are almost constantly flickering when in-game. I’m using the Oculus Rift and a multiple camera setup to try to reduce z-fighting buffer or whatever but it’s just not seeming to fix it… I’ve run out of ideas and nowhere on the internet have I been able to find a solution… =/

Thanks for your time!

It looks like you may be trying to eliminate a symptom and not the root cause.

You would normally see z-fighting when there are things drawn on top of each other using the same depth value. I would suggest examining your model and see if you have overlapping geometry at the edges of your mesh.

Do you see flickering when you use a single camera instead of the Oculus camera rig?

Oh wow! I hadn't even thought to try that but sure enough with Oculus mode disabled it looks just fine! Can't say I'm sure exactly why though... My Oculus setup is using 3 cameras at different depths - one with very low near and far clip values for the player layer, one very far for the sky layer, and one for everything else.. Any ideas on why this is all happening would be greatly appreciated!
