ocean Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi there! I've just started building in Leadwerks again after a long break. I'm having an issue where portions of a wall keep disappearing and the skybox behind it is rendered instead. Wondering what I might have done wrong or if it's a bug... It's just the one wall and it doesn't matter if I replace it. I figure it's best to try and fix these things early on. Keep in mind, I'm a Beginner with a captial 'B'. Thanks.

Ronald Buanno Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I see what you mean. Could you post the .map file so we can look at it with greater detail? Do you have 2 brushes overlapping on that wall that are fighting to show up on the same plane? If you post your .map, I'll see what I can do, since your a fellow linux user and all... lol All hail Linux!

ocean Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thank you. Doesn't seem like I'm permitted to attach any files... :/ All hail, indeed. Quote Ubuntu 14.04 / 64bit.

Ronald Buanno Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Weird D: I would zip it before attempting to attach it, which I'm sure you already new obviously ;P And check your account permissions? Maybe message Josh if you have an issue still. I had one when I first made my account and he remedied it within 5 minutes. Let me know how it goes.

nick.ace Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I think that is actually expected behavior, at least for your framerate. Is that your actual framerate or are you slowing it down? Anyway, Leadwerks does not render meshes that aren't in view (I guess all 3D engines do this as well?), so when you turn the view quickly like that, specifically coupled with a low framerate, these issues become more obvious. There is some delay, like maybe a frame, so that's why they aren't showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Buanno Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Idk, I'd like to see his .map file to test on my pc, I haven't had issues like his. But I do see where your coming from nick and have experienced that in some games (just not leadwerks) Quote Ubuntu 14.04 (64-Bit) - Intel Core i7-2700K - Geforce GTX 670 - 8GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtom Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've experienced this too. For example if I sometimes do a quick turn in a building I can for a second see out through the wall and It doesn't look the best when it happens. As nick says I think a slower frame rate makes it more obvious. Quote Check out my games: One More Day / Halloween Pumpkin Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocean Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 No. This isn't my actual framerate, it's the screen recording software interfering I suppose. I don't have to turn too quickly to have it happen, and it's just that one wall (brush) that's affected. I still can't upload files... I'll hear with Josh if he can work some magic on my permissions.

Josh Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Leadwerks uses hardware occlusion culling which basically gives us hidden object removal in real-time that works everywhere. There is a small delay before the feedback from a visibility test comes back to the GPU, and this can result in objects popping into view at low framerates.

ocean Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 In debug mode the framerate jumps between the 90s and 100s. Quote Ubuntu 14.04 / 64bit.

Josh Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That should be fast enough that the effect isn't very noticeable. Your video above is running at about 5 FPS.

ocean Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yep... I'm not having much luck screen-recording properly. Quote Ubuntu 14.04 / 64bit.

Josh Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I recommend PlayClaw or FRAPS. They both record really fast. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
