Disable Clipping

[Gandi]

Hi!

 

I have a small mesh, which i scale/position in my shader.. works fine so far.. the problem is, that it doesnt get rendered if i dont look at the "original" position of the mesh (it doesnt take into account the position given in the shader). is there a way of turning of this disappearing-effect?

You can add dummy vertices to the mesh to force it to have a bigger aabb.

There should really be a less hacky way of doing this (also needed for e.g. ragdolls...).

If you're changing the matrix around in the shader, this will cause problems because the data the GPU renders is not similar to what the CPU deals with. Add some vertices around the shape to encapsulate what you think the largest AABB will be.

so how are you doin it with the vegetation?

there you also set the y-value in the shader?

Sorry for double post, but i'm still interested in how you managed to disable the clipping for the grass-layer?

The grass mesh radius encompasses the whole volume of the grass, unless it is placed on a cliffside or something extreme like that.
