object overlay causing wird artifacts

[Peter T.]

i tried to make this work... adjusting levels of poly_os-es but they still have this weird z-buffer problem...anyone know why?

 

i dont want to paint the soft shadows on the ortho because it is too blurry, and not .pols because i have too much .pols nad the soft-shadow texture is in the building texture so if i use it then the whole texture is used...

Have you looked at the "DRAPED" option for your objects?

 

http://developer.x-plane.com/2010/10/draped-object-geometry-in-x-plane-10/

and specifically:

This may fix any Z-buffering sillyness between a POL ortho and the object (I believe)

T_T im still a v9 user...i did, anyways i fixed this by using .pols instead

Ewps. Sorry - Forgot that from the other thread.

 

oh no! XP9 - why? =)  Once 10.20 64 bit is stable (and the 3rd parties really start ramping up utlities/plugins), I have a sneaky suspicion that Xp9 is about to be left in the dust by the new year.

BTW - 10.20 as well is FAR FAR faster rendering than any previous 10.x version. I can even now run HDR mode fullscreen with a ton of objects and orthophoto scenery - on a LOWLY 5770 ATi card anywhere between 20 and 30 FPS. Rock on baby!
