Try out
pCanvas.getView().setFrontClipPolicy(View.VIRTUAL_EYE);
You should get exact clipping value. It still escapes me why it is
computed from screen, not eye, but it is 0.1 (or whatever you set it
to).
>From what I understand, reason behind all this stuff is that there are
many transforms out there. There is image plate to vworld transform
which differs from viewplatform transform which differs from another one
transform tied to view (I'be forgotten it name - something with eye). I
wish I could fully understand all this stuff... Anyway clip distance is
taken in one of these transforms - which differ from virtual world
transform (different scale).
