Hello,

I have made a box with dbMakeObjectBox, I scaled it up, and it seems that the box gets inside the frustrum culling (out of view hiding of objects) when the center point of the box is out of view, meaning a whole part of the box which should be visible aint visible because it is being hided.

Anybody has experience this before and has a fix?

Cheers,

Leo

The only way the check whether the camera is inside the box is to set the back face culling to off, thus showing the other sides of each face. Apart from that, re-position your camera to view the object. If an object gets scaled and any faces cross the cameras view then those faces will not be displayed.

If you create a box(non scaled) the same size as the scaled box, does that one work fine?

I have a feeling there is a command to update object bounds but not sure I could find it for GDK

EDIT: Just read that there is a command dbShowObjectBounds(), if that works then you can see if GDK has wrong bounding box data.

You can use dbCalculateObjectBounds( obj ) But you have to add it into the basic3d.h header file.

Yeah but that costs loads of cpu.

I am using instanced box objects, if that is valueable?

EDIT:
dbCalculateObjectBounds function on the main box did the job THANK YOU!
