I'm working on a LWJGL project and I'm experiencing a weird problem: close objects stop being fully rendered as I move slightly away. I'm not very expert in OpenGL so I can't figure out what is causing this.

Here two photos of what I'm talking about: Pic1, Pic2

And here's a photo to prove that the objects are fully loaded: http://prntscr.com/r7joyc

Code used to load a texture

Code used to initialize the window

I think the error is somewhere here

@Override
    public Texture loadTexture(String filename) {
        try (MemoryStack stack = MemoryStack.stackPush()) {
            //Height, width and colour channels are 1 byte each
            IntBuffer w = stack.mallocInt(1);
            IntBuffer h = stack.mallocInt(1);
            IntBuffer channels = stack.mallocInt(1);

            //Load image into the ByteBuffer
            this.byteBuffer = stbi_load(filename, w, h, channels, 4);
            if (this.byteBuffer == null) {
                throw new FileNotFoundException("Texture file [" + filename + "] not loaded. Reason: " + stbi_failure_reason());
            }

            //Get width and height of image
            this.width = w.get();
            this.height = h.get();

            int textureID = this.generateTexture();
            this.generateMipMap();
            this.clean();
            return new Texture(textureID, this.width, this.height);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.error(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();

                0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, this.byteBuffer);

  • \$\begingroup\$ This looks like the same far plane problem discussed in this recent Q&A. Your camera renders objects only within a certain depth range. If you want to render objects further away, you need to move or extend that depth range, usually configured via "near" and "far" depth properties in your camera/projection matrix settings. \$\endgroup\$

This solved my problem

First render your skybox, then clear the depth bit after rendering the skybox, and finally render everything else. That way the depth of the skybox won't affect the scene.
