Jitter on Plane Entity when Turning or Movement #6
Comments
Indeed, planes are implemented in a very basic way, just a very large
quad. Some versions of OpenGL handle it with no issues (including
textures), others have troubles rendering the textures (on the same
video card, on Linux, I saw different behavior while using proprietary
Nvidia drivers or generic open source drivers)
Your solution looks interesting, but instead of using PositionTexture,
you could use VertexTexCoords: in that way, you wouldn't have the issue
of texture moving when applied to other entities.

I see. So are you planning to fix this to be more consistent across all versions and platforms? or you can just this other solution by SLotman. |
That issue depends on the fact that the range of vertex coordinates is too wide, likely. It depends on the driver used: on the same pc, for example, texture works smoothly by using NVIDIA drivers, and it's not rendered correctly by the Intel driver, instead. |
Limiting a feature or solution to work on specific cards or drivers seems to be a bit odd and outdated. I'm using Radeon btw. |
It's not "limiting". It's just a different behavior of different drivers. In OpenB3D, a plane is just a very large mesh (while in Blitz3D it's a different kind of entity). Some drivers have issues rendering a mesh so large. In origin there was no support for CreatePlane at all, so I added it as a mesh, as temporary solution. Later, when I added the isosurfaces (that can be used, among other things, to create planes as well) I never worried about replacing the planes with something more precise. I consider it an obsolete feature, left for compatibility. So, if you need a more precise solution, the one provided by SLotman could be a good solution (just a suggestion: instead of using PositionTexture, change VertexTexCoords, so if other entities are using the same texture it won't move on them, too) |
There seems to be a jitter on movement and turning when use plane entity. I first noticed this on earlier demos that I've tested, but ignored it as it maybe just the demo's particular pivot and setup.
With this version that I posted and updated from SLotman, which Mark later integrated to OpenB3DMax with more fixes, it's working fine w/o the jitter.
