Im using the a5 engine my model is too detailed I believe, and is disapearing too close to the camera. It looks like it is full of holes when it gets a certian distance away. I have put a lot of time into modeling, animating and skinning this model. is there any way I can overcome this by changing a variable in the game engine?

I Have Gamestudio extra v5.51.04, and do not know if it supports different LOD
for entities. do I need to go back to the drawing board with this model?
will A6 render smaller polygons substantially better?
Any help would be appreciated.

You have to set your camera.clip_near value to a smaller one if you need really close objects.

Sorry, I think I was unclear, my model starts to dissapear the further it gets from the camera, close enough however to notice the holes in the face and body where the small polygons used to be. if it gets far enough away all that is left is a pair of legs. Is there any way to render the model without polygons dissapearing

There are about 6000 polygons in my human sized model, should I reduce this to mabye 3000? or is there a way I can get around this issue without reducing my model detail?

You might try placing the following line
Code:

---

clip_size = 0;

---

in C-Script function main().
It's in the 5.51 manual.

Hiya.

Also, make sure that there are no double polygons or inverted normals on any polygons on your model. (In MED it's under "View" --> "All Models").

thanks for the help var clip_size = 0; worked like a charm.
