Maya 2018 - Viewport black lines when looking from far, why? (image attached)

#1

Hi, im creatind an scene in real measures, meaning real cms and metters, each object is super large because each unit equals 1cm

The problem i have with Maya 2018´s viewport is that while in persp camera when i start to go far (since my scene is already big) there is a point when dark lines start to appear in every object, i know this is not a real problem since my renders look ok, but from viewport perspective its kind of awefull to be looking at this horrible nasty dark lines whenever i go far with camera.

It has to be a configuration problem in viewport 2.0, how to solve it?

turn up the clipping plane in the camera…

near clipping to 5
far clipping to 100000

A more detailed explanation of the issue is that it’s a floating point rounding error. GPUs are not the most accurate and so by adjusting the clipping planes you can reduce the artifacts. When working on big scenes at the studio I work for, the cameras build in with a near clipping plane of 10. Though if you do that you won’t see objects if they are right up in the camera (or they will be clipped).
