Baronetti Payback

[Duplode]

Good points -- and yes, now that you've mentioned the Melange, it does bring Generations to mind!

Hello my friends,

I ran into a classic Stunts rendering issue on the Renault 5 Turbo and I noticed the same on the Baronetti Payback: polygons that are meant to behave like stickers/overlays (details sitting on top of another surface) were glitching depending on camera angle (flicker).

Here's what fixed it, and it's a good rule for any stressed 3D car model:

1) Check Z-bias (for "sticker" polygons)

The Stunts Wiki explains it like this: Z-bias forces a polygon to be displayed over other polygons placed at the same depth, typically used for small details.

2) Polygon list order matters (this is the big one)

Even with Z-bias enabled, you must place the overlay polygon directly after its base polygon in the polygon list, otherwise you'll get display bugs.

(Or more generally: overlay polygons should be immediately after the polygon they belong to.)

3) For "panel disappears at some angles" → try 2-sided

For the panels that glitched, enabling 2-sided fixed it.

Reference: stressed documentation (polygon chart: 2-sided, Z-bias, and ordering).
