Flickering

[AnxiousCynic 1.1k]

Hope this is the right forum for this...

 

So I decided to customize a character rig to have facial features, etc. and it looks fine up close (I even extended the objects out from the character and what not to prevent any bleeding), but when the camera gets a certain distance away the textures begin flickering.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

 

(I tried searching "flicker" and "flickering" on the forum, but couldn't find any topics related to this issue)

Have you used custom textures?

What was this called...like Z-bugging or something?I don't know.But this is a bug that's been around for a LONG time.I think somebody said that David would have to change alot of code or something to get this fixed.

And this would happen with custom textures and default textures.

But move the item like 0.05 back.

You can't fix it. David can't fix it. It's a "bug" with graphic cards

Ah jeeze... How do people use custom rigs then, exactly? I've seen videos that didn't have this issue?

Well you probably used one which has this issue, try a different one

Well that's the thing, because I made my own. Not sure what I did wrong to cause this and was hoping to find a solution without having to replace the entire rig.

This problem has happened to me multiple times. If by 'textures' you mean the rigged area, (i.e, face) then most probably, your rigging materials, (blocks used to simulate mouth, eyelids, etc.) are too close to the skin. Therefore, when you zoom out, the textures run together, and flicker between the two at rapid intervals.

 

If by textures you mean the area with no rigged materials, no blocks-beneath-the-skin, then this is a glitch/bug in the system, as the other Users have specified.

I don't know what you mean...

I know what you mean, it has nothing to do with custom textures and what not, and it's called:
Z-Fighting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting

It's when 2 objects are fighting over the same depth level(Or 'z buffer')
Everytime the camerea(Or 3d view) refresh or moves(in MM), the 2 competing textures will fight.

 

Very easy to replicate aswell as fix, and it isn't a mineimator specific bug, it'll happen to anything 3d primitive.

Do as Pokeknights suggested and very slightly move the object away, it should temporarily fix.
(Until you go further away, then they start fighting again)

Ah! Thanks so much! That seems to explain it very well. So I guess a solution would be to create rigged areas without overlapping blocks.
