Text Holes

Hey

I have this sketch that draws multiple texts in a 3D space. I use boxes behind the texts to provide a background. However, when I render with OPENGL and PeasyCam, it looks as if the text creates holes on the objects and you can see right through.

Any ideas?

Some possibilities...
Try moving the text slightly in front of the background box.
Try changing the order of things drawn.
Try using depth test/sort hints.

Everything has been done...the text is set a few pixels in front of the boxes, and also enabled/disabled all these rendering properties with no luck.

hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_4X_SMOOTH);

hint(ENABLE_NATIVE_FONTS);

hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST);

hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_SORT);

Anyone else had a similar problem?

p.s. I also used the P3D renderer, but now the text disappears

Changed order of drawn objects and got rid of all the OpenGL commands, and it seems to be working now.

import peasy.*;
import processing.opengl.*;
PeasyCam cam;
PFont fontMain;
int fontSize = 24;
String message;
void setup() {
size(620, 480, OPENGL);
//hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_4X_SMOOTH);
//hint(ENABLE_NATIVE_FONTS);
//hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST);
//hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_SORT);
noLights();
//smooth();
cam = new PeasyCam(this, 100);
cam.setMinimumDistance(100);
cam.setMaximumDistance(5000);
frameRate(30);
fontMain = createFont ("ArialMT-24.vlw", fontSize);
textFont (fontMain, fontSize);
message = "This is a new message!";
}
void draw() {
background(0);
pushMatrix();
translate(0, 0, 0);
noStroke();
fill(255, 0, 255);
rect(-50, -50, 100, 100);
fill(255);
textAlign(LEFT);
text(message, 0, 0, 5);
popMatrix();
}

When I run your code I am not experiencing the problem. Tested in 1.5.1 and 2.0a8 on WinXP.

So it may be related to your system, video card, drivers or something...
