Hi Guys,

I am having a problem working with Spherical Planetary Terrains.

In the scene attached I have created the default Infinite Terrain. The Camera is locked to 500m above the Terrain. The problem is that when I switch to the Spherical Terrain (File > Options > Units and Coordinates > Spherical Scene with the Planetary Option checked the Viewports cease to work in an expected way, and if you render the Top Camera the result is not what I would expect.

Does anyone know how to get this type of scene so one can actually work with it!

I've never tried rendering with the top camera.  Just the Main camera, or one that I've added.

What result were you hoping for?

It was the first time I've ever rendered the top camera, I never normally use it either! I was trying to find out what was happening as the OpenGL views stop showing anything useful if "use planetary terrains" in the options is checked.

Well I managed to fix the Top camera by just raising it up, so that was a mistake on my part.

BUT it doesn't alter the fact that the OpenGL views are unusable if "use planetary terrains" is checked in the options.

Edit: I have posted 2 screenshots to illustrate this below.

Planetary Option unchecked

Planetary Option checked

No other changes

Vue's implementation of OpenGL does not account for the number of terrain segments that form a sphere in all their splendor.

Your video card handles it better than mine does.
