I recently started seeing a strange anomaly. I have a solar system simulator in one of my scenes. Each planet is lit and has a line through its rotational axis. The planets are actually Sun J3D utility Spheres. For some reason, they began to disappear and reappear as I changed my viewing angle, but the axis line remained visible. I took a guess and figured that the only thing different was that the planets were made using the Sun Sphere class, and that this class SHARES it's geometry among the different Sphere instantiations. After setting the flag GEOMETRY_NOT_SHARED, the problem went away. Of course the problem is sporadic, and I do not have time to make a test case. I found this problem while using J3D OpenGL 1.2.1 beta 1 and DirectX 1.2.1 beta 1. I have been unable to replicate the problem using J3D OpenGL 1.2. J.
