Weird Texture Problem

[MaLord]

I am making a small 3d type game with a bunch of cubes scattered everywhere. I have noticed that when cubes are far enough away they start to flicker and fluxuate. Some of the polygons are not drawn completely, and this is really annoying. I have tried every texture mapping option that I can think of but none have worked. The lighting also messes up when the cubes get farther away. I am just wondering if this is a bug in OpenGL or if there is something I am forgetting to do.

check your back clipping plane. Try some fog, it will improve depth ques and *hide* your bug.

use 32 depth buffer, it should solve the problems.

Sounds like your talking about Z-Fighting. Have you tried increasing your near clipping plane?

Thanks for the help, but I can't seem to figure out how to change the number of depth bits in GLUT.
