How do you control when terrain disappears?

by Lee Latham · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/17/2006 (2:36 pm) · 2 replies

Hello,

I have a nice terrain, but when I zoom out, at a certain point it disappears altogether. I've tried setting a treedepth of up to 7, but it still vanishes altogether when I'm not particularly far away from it.

I realize "not particularly far away" is not a precise metric. I guess I'm asking how I can control and predict this behavoir?

What sort of distances are you looking at? What's your view distance set to on the sky?

Tree depth should have zero impact on from how far you can see an Atlas terrain.

Aha! It was the view distance.

I thought it must be terrain related since it was just the terrain disappearing.

Thanks!! That was the last piece of my pipeline to work out! And it only took 9 months! hehehehe.

I love software.
