[Solved] Curious if anyone else has had graphics glitches with ci::gl::drawSphere

Hey embers,

On two separate occasions I’ve seen odd glitching using ci::gl::drawSphere. While I believe it is likely still something in my own software, it has just happened on such separate occasions and only with that call that it makes me pause and wonder if perhaps it is a Cinder thing.

Using a geom::Sphere clears the issue right up though.

Cheers,

Gazoo

It’s a known problem I think.

Yes, I’ve also come across this. If you adjust the number of subdivisions it may “randomly” work or not…likely uninitialized memory?
