Nicky, I get the same artefacts - Objects having a rainbow 'overlay' or blackened surfaces, Shiny generating wild colours. The colours vary as the camera moves, some parts of the image may render normally. The colours are superimposed on the object textures and blend across the triangle fragments. Tweaking graphic parameters tends to produce a new set of colours. Sky, terrain, Avatars appear normal. i don't have any idea what the problem is, but i think it's really interesting that i see the same kinds of things in Blender when i'm making sculpties! Since you say something about "the big mesh merge" and that is related to the kind of things that sculpties are for, it makes me go, "Hmmm..."
Good Luck! - AK --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've tried playing with most render options - the effect shows with or without basic shaders / VBO / Lighting... Thsi is on a standalong 64bit Linux build on Gentoo, core i7 920 / nVidia GTX 580. It started with the big mesh merge and continues with the current viewer-development. I've been trying to locate the problem but delving into the graphics system is something of an adventure - any clues would be welcome. - Psi _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
