Some of the materials in my scene are displaying artifacts in the textures when viewed at certain angles in the “rendered” viewport. Moving the camera seems to fix it until it gets to another angle it doesn’t like. I have tried adjusting the render mesh settings and it still happens. Not sure where to go from here.
I’m not seeing that, but it looks like bump mapping…which there doesn’t seem to be any of in your file. Maybe it’s a texture filtering thing… so what does it look like with an actual render? And run -systemInfo and post the results.
Rendering is fine, but I won’t use that. I want the viewport to work for my purposes.

It appears to have something to do with the distance from the origin (it is currently about 2000’ away). If I move everything to the origin, then it works fine. I would really prefer not to move the geometry as it is relative to a large point cloud.
Well OpenGL shadowing has a LOT to do with those sorts of properties of the scene, so…sorry.
