AddBillboardTextSceneNode issue

Post by grantkrieger »

Hello,

Does anyone know how to only show a BillboardTextSceneNode when it is in direct line of sight of the camera. I am finding that if I have a model in front of it it can still be seen through the model in front of it.

EG

BillboardTextSceneNode <- Model 1 <- Camera

Camera sees BillboardTextSceneNode through model 1.

If this is not possible is it possible to set the visible distance from the BillboardTextSceneNode to the camera. Like a farvalue but set on the node ?

I dont want to reduce my camera far value as this will not show all objects which I dont want.

Otherwise does anyone know of any other way I can do the above ?

Many thanks

Grant

I'm not sure but I think you'll get your answer in tutorial #7.

Sounds like zbuffer testing is disabled. Check your material settings.
