Texture on sphere.. flickering??

[yeti]

When moving around the sphere with earth texture, some strange flickering occurs which changes its positions when i move... I just have no clue what i am doing wrong or how to fix it. Can someone please help me out?

Which driver are you using? It could be normals. Or it could be z-buffer fighting. Hard to tell when all the info we have is a single screenshot and no code or models.

Oh, sorry, i didnt attach the code as my use is really basic, this is actually it. For camera movement i am using addCameraSceneNodeFPS and this is it... with DirectX 9. No magic

Code: Select all

 
    scene::ISceneNode *node = SceneManager->addSphereSceneNode( Setup::instance().getWorldSphereRadius(), Setup::instance().getWorldSpherePolys(), SceneManager->getRootSceneNode() );
    node->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,0));
    node->setMaterialTexture(0, Driver->getTexture("topo.jpg"));
    node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, true);

That's rather strange. Before I starting trying to reproduce this - can you please check if your graphic drivers are up-to-date? And is this Irrlicht 1.8? And to get as close as possible to your situation - can you give me the exact radius and polygon-numbers you are using? And I guess you use a light (would be black otherwise) - so any values for that as well. And maybe compiler and which Windows you are on.

Anything else you can think of that's special is also helpful. We can only help if we have all information necessary to reproduce the bug.
