Hello, It could be. Although I was using the default front and back clip distances etc.. and spheres with a radius of 5 metres or so. I would have thought that the default settings for the zbuffer resolution would have coped with this situation? If not, what are the ideal dimensions to be working in to avoid this if I havent altered anything that will change the zbuffer resolution?
