I guess noone finds this interesting :)

I mostly got rid of the effect by disabling the stencil buffer, though the banding is still visible when I look very closely. But I guess that's normal, because I also see it when I simply add a TestSceneNode with directional lighting to the HelloWorld ...

I'm still a bit in the dark about this..

if I simply set the normals as colors
float4 ps_main(PS_INPUT Pix): COLOR0
{
float4 color = {1, 1, 1, 1};
color = color * normalize(Pix.Normal);
return color;

Thanks for the replies! It's at least nice to know it's called banding, that should make searching for an answer a lot easier.

I guess it's not really an IRR problem (I remember seeing the same behavior in an irrlicht example, but can't find it anymore), but I hoped someone would react with 'Oh ...

Hello,

I hope this is not too stupid, but here it goes:

I often get things like this, like the color depth is very low:



Is there a basic setting I missed, or are these things more complicated than that?
