I'll see about turning on the warnings. I actually haven't gotten the warning messages, but stepping through the code I found that it went through the case where the warning would come out if we were listening.
I've found out more about the situation. Someone created the object to be near the camera (which is using an orthographic projection, by the way). However, part of it extends toward the camera, and I think goes behind the camera. This doesn't set a new calculated near z, and the object is completely clipped out, instead of being partly clipped out. There are a few ways we could work around this. I've got to think a bit to decide whether OSG should have set some near Z from this, even if it couldn't set it to the "near" Z that went behind the camera. thanks, andy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 12:31 PM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] question about warning in CullVisitor.cpp Hi Andy, I haven't seen warnings like this for a loooong while... they usually suggest that some internal computation of the near/far distances for objects in the scene is in some way messed up. Is it possible to recreate this warning with osgviewer when loading one of your models? Robert.
