VR distant clouds disappear


Recommended Posts

As above in 2.5- I’ve not check in 1.5.8

 

So towards the centre of the Rift the clouds in the background vanish and come back when not looking directly at them. Very immersion killing. Up to date DCS and GeForce drivers.

 

Is this an ongoing issue?

 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I think this is a problem with the way most 3d game worlds are rendered. It's most obvious when you can see long distance to the edge of what is rendered, especially when things like fog are in play.

 

Basically, the world being drawn on your screen is a box (cube technically). Everything outside of that box is not drawn. Being a cube, the corners are further away from you than the flat side directly ahead. So when you turn your view, you can see farther at the sides. I have seen this in TONS of games, so I don't know if there is a way around it or not. There may be some technical or performance related reason for not using a sphere or cylinder.

Ok, cheers, nice explanation. Maybe I’d just gotten used to it in previous versions and blanked it it out! Seems to be pretty obvious now though in 2.5. I wonder if actually increasing the amount of clouds would make it less obvious. I’ll try later.

I’ve checked in 1.5.8 release and the clouds there don't disappear at the same distance, although they are slightly different - smaller in fact I checked using the same parameters in both 2.5 and 1.5.8. So I think it’s somehow to do with cloud rendering in vr in 2.5. Still need to do some more checking as I only checked it Caucasus
