Hello Carsten, to be sure I deactivated frustum culling. It is not the problem. It seems to be some difference with the skeleton updates with skinning. In render mode 1 (just skeleton visible) everything works fine. So I will compare the skeleton-renderer with the skinning-renderer. There has to be a tiny difference in the jointmatrix updates.
