QD3D 43 - Screen Flickering (8-Apr-96)

QMy application animates moving geometries. Recently, I'm seeing a lot of screen flicker, and faces of geometries which should be behind other faces are showing through. What gives?

QSounds like you may have doubleBuffering turned off. Turn it on by calling Q3DrawContext_SetDoubleBufferState.

It could also be a result of having excessively large difference between Hither and Yon. Experiment with greater hither values and smaller yon values to see if the bleed-through goes away.
