Hi Carsten, thanks for your reply.

Are your drivers up > to date? My system is up to date, and I don't have similar problems in any other OpenGL program. The graphics card has been replaced less then 2 years ago. I only saw similar artifacts, when I wrote my own OpenGL code while testing some OpenGL Scene Graph Frameworks, and when I gathered my first experiences with OpenGL. The reason why I believe it is application or source code dependent is the fact, that rotating the camera removes them completely, and reproducibly, when the camera is rotated towards the positive z-axis. I copied parts of my code, which I believe are relevant to paste bin: http://pastebin.com/Wp2HueYs Cheers, Keyan > > Cheers, > Carsten > > [1] It may well be that enabling shadows triggers this for you, because > that causes the scene to be rendered into an FBO instead of the > application frame buffer, so the memory touched is quite different with > shadows than without. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > RSA(R) Conference 2012 > Save $700 by Nov 18 > Register now > http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 > _______________________________________________ > Opensg-users mailing list > Opensg-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensg-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Opensg-users mailing list Opensg-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensg-users
