rough edges (stroke) 3d shapes
Jul 16th, 2007, 2:42pm  
hi all,

When i let a box rotate or make it move, the edges (the stroke) appear very rough and sometimes even flicker.

int t;

void setup() {
 size(360, 360, P3D);
}

void draw() {
 background(200);
 t = (t+1) % 360;
 pushMatrix();
 translate(180, 180, 0);
 rotateY(radians(t));
 rotateX(radians(t));
 box(50);
 popMatrix();
}

smooth() in OPENGL mode helps a little but still doesn't work for me.

How can i solve this?

you might need to set a higher line width for the lines for the flicker or set the antialiasing on yourself. for my experience smooth() does not work. you would need to set it up manually.

watz compiled a lib that enabled the opengl option.
you might want to use that, or do it yourself in your code:

watz jar:

See http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=580 , this bug is the main source of the problem here (though some of it is also the aliasing) and so far there's no real solution.  strokeWeight() doesn't do anything right now in P3D, but in OpenGL if you go to strokeWeight(2) the results are a bit better.
