Following the blaster tutorial but having issues with my projectiles.

They disappear depending on the angle I shoot them at. Generally looking up at them they are view-able and when I angle down they pixelate and disappear.

 

 

Anyone knows where I should look to debug this?

Hi

 

I once saw something very similar when I rendered two faces on top of each other (like you are doing) with back face culling off.

 

Perhaps try GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_CULL_FACE);  before your rendering

 

Alternatively, you could use Techne instead of the tessellator, much more user-friendly than Tessellator...

So disabling face culling is definitely something I wanted, but it isn't resolving my issue.

 

I simplified my renderer to just render a red square that travels a short distance and then stops.

Most angles they all look like I would expect but some viewing angles they still go partly invisible/pixelated.

It affects all of the squares produced by my renderer regardless of their orientation to the viewing angle.

 

 

Still have no idea what setting causes this. I've played with the GL settings I could find that looked relevant and upgraded my drivers just in case.

crikey that is weird

 

sorry dude, I have absolutely no clue.

 

You might have some luck asking in an OpenGL forum somewhere?
