  • 1.  Quad Object Disappears with Ortho. Camera

    Posted 07-09-2014 19:40
    There's a quad in one of my scoreboard graphics that isn't visible when I add an Ortho Cam, but it works fine with perspective camera.

    Any ideas on what could cause this error?

    Are you sure it doesn't have the same Z value as some other object (like a fullscreen BG) that it is disappearing behind?

    I just double checked and there are no other objects with the same Z value.

    Even when there are no other layers turned on, the moment I set a new a ortho cam to active, the layer disappears completely.

    I dropped a new quad in the scene and applied the same texture and that quad doesn't have the same problem. I'm hoping that I can just rebuild that animation and the problem won't return. None the less, it's a strange problem and It would be nice to know what happened.

    Can you post a dropbox link to the scene?

    I'd love to look at it.

    Here's a link via google drive. You should have permission. Let me know when you have downloaded it so that I can delete it.

    I moved one of the trouble scenes to the top of the scene manager and the scene has a 'test quad' and 'test ortho' cam at the top of the object manager.

    And the trouble layer is called 'bar score touch'

    EDIT: One more thing, the layer only disappears in the framebuffer, not in the main viewport

    It's seems to be related to the dropshadow effect on the quad, but not sure why yet.. Will get back to you when I know more..
