Notes about scaling
These are notes about scaling.
-
Scaling transformations are not guaranteed to work for every part of the engine.
-
Objects loaded from an MWX are stripped of any scale transformation. Only external tools, such as the XR Studio, can scale objects.
-
Generic meshes and collision meshes can be scaled. However, they may present graphical artifacts in particular when a non-uniform scale is applied to them.
-
The runtime-generated shaders should be correct for any kind of scaling.
Potential scaling issues
The hardcoded shaders may suffer from these non-uniformity issues.
-
Cubemaps. Reflections may display incorrectly.
-
Lighting. Specular may display incorrectly.
Billboards Visibility/Picking
A deformed Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) can create problems during visibility calculations and intersection tests.
