Why is my material "flickering" in an simulation with Drive?

Question

Hi.

I have the problem that my material on my vehicle is flickering when it's simulated with drive. Not only the parts of the actual simulation are affected. I have a kind of crane on my simulated vehicle wich is not part of the actual simulation, but inside the "body" to ensure that it's "driving" along. If I put it "outside" the simulation (body), it's not flickering anymore when animated.

Any ideas or suggestions?

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I found the solution myself.

I solved it by adding a Display-Tag and turning on the "Backface Culling".

Thanks madmandrax for the further hints with the rendering.

Never heard of such problems. Do you mean the final rendering or the editor view? Maybe an outdated OpenGL version?

A general recommendation is to record the simulation to keyframes before the final rendering. This takes just a few seconds. Additionally you can remove all DRIVE objects from the scene with one mouse click. You'll then get a standard C4D project that can be rendered on any computer or render farm without having the plugin to be installed.
