Question

and this time i have loaded a model successfully! yay!!

but theres a slight problem, one that i had with another obj loader…

heres what it looks like:

heres another angle if u cant see it right away:

now this is supposed to look like a cube, but as you can see, the edges of the faces on the cube are being very choppy

is anyone else having this problem, or if anyone knows how to solve this then let me know

also comment if theres any code that needs to be shown, ill be happy to post it.

hey i played around with the code(changed some stuff) and this is what i have come up with

ORIGINAL:

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
    glLoadIdentity();
    gluPerspective(50.f,(double)800 / (double)600,0.f,200.f);
    glTranslatef(0.f, 0.f, -10.0f);

result: choopy image(look at images)

CURRENT:

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
    gluPerspective(50.f,(double)800 / (double)600,0.f,200.f);
    glTranslatef(0.f, 0.f, -50.0f);
    glLoadIdentity();

result: model is not choppy but cannot move camera(model is right in front of me)

Answer 1

gluPerspective(50.f,(double)800 / (double)600,0.f,200.f);

That's your problem right there ---------------+

The near clip distance must be greater than 0 for perspective projections. Actually you should choose near to be as far away as possible and the far clip plane to be as near as possible.

Say your depth buffer is 16 bits wide, then you slice the scene into 32768 slices. The slice distribution follows a 1/x law. Technically you’re dividing by zero.
