How to avoid z-fighting?

[panurge]

Hi everyone. I'm creating a planet-generator, in the following way:

I put all the data in a two-dimensional array into the Z component of each vertex of a cube-mesh. This works pretty fine for creating mountains.
I create the sea by spawning a big flat mesh at Z=0.

When the camera moves, the intesection between the sea-mesh and the earth-mesh wobbles in a strange and annoying way. How can i aviod this?

Hope this is clear. I can't send you an editable file at the moment. I already tried checking and uncheckng "draw back face" and similar in the material options, but the prolem persists.

Thanks in advance!

Hi panurge,

Did you enable the Grid2DOnly checkbox of your MeshBox components?

If that doesn't solve it, try to reduce the Clipping range by adjusting the ClipNear / ClipFar properties on App. The smaller your range, the higher the "resolution" of the Z-Buffer will be for that range.

A screenshot or executable would make it easier to help

Sometimes if they are at the exact same place you can get this problem.
Off-setting one by a tinny amound may do it; z=-0.01;

Thanks guys, sorry for answering so late, but i currently don't own an internet connection...
for the moment i simply avoided the problem by eliminating the 'sea'. Anyway, i'll post my project on these forums for you to see.

thank you again
