Basically, I have a one-sided plane and when I get close to it it starts clipping badly.

I can’t seem to find the proper method in Away3d 4 to fix this, and I would rather not just add more triangles to the plane.  I was able to find some things on view clipping and camera clipping, but the only bit I could find in the FP11 version is frustumplanes in the camera class.

Thanks!

In Away4 the clipping is done on the GPU by the Flash Player. All that Away3D does is some object culling (i.e. deciding which objects to send to the GPU.) So this sounds like a pretty weird issue. Can you upload a screenshot or even better, a demo?

I’m beginning to think it may be more of a culling issue, so I’m going to aim my googling efforts in that direction.  But for the time being I went ahead and put together a quck demo.

When you get real close to the floor and then look down it starts to disappear.
W = forward
A = left
S = down
D = right
Space = up
Mouse = looks around

I see what you mean. That is clipping, but it’s “nearfield clipping”. You won’t be able to escape it, but you can change the distance from the camera at which it happens by adjusting the camera.lens.near property.

Thanks so much!  I knew there had to be an easy solution.  For anyone who stumbles upon this post I added this line and it pretty much fixed all my issues:
_view.camera.lens.near = 10;

is there any away to change near property of the camera in version 3.6 ?
