I tried this on my Indigo Elan (running IRIX 4.0.2) with a simple scene made up of two depthcued polygons that rotate around the scene with parts of each polygon being cut out by the front, back, left, and right clipping planes as they go, and I don't see any problems with the depthcueing of the remaining portions of the polygons. What machine are you seeing this problem on? -- Momi Akeley (momi@corp.sgi.com) Strategic Services Group Silicon Graphics (415)390-5557
