Subject: Fog problem on Crimson RE

Hi there,

I'm trying to implement a simple linear fog model on our Crimson RE,
running Irix 6.2/Performer 2.2/Open GL. The application is for
navigating a building (i.e., Z = 0 is the plane of the floor, and a
user's eyepoint moves in the Z=1.65 m plane). The relevant code is:

  pfEarthSky *esky = new pfEarthSky;
  esky->setMode(PFES_BUFFER_CLEAR, PFES_SKY_GRND);
  esky->setAttr(PFES_GRND_HT, -1.0 );
  pfFog *fog = new pfFog;
  fog->setFogType( PFFOG_VTX_LIN );
  fog->setColor( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 );
  fog->setRange( fog_range_min, fog_range_max );
  esky->setFog( PFES_GENERAL, fog );

This works fine on a MaxImpact running irix 6.5 but, on the Crimson, I can
clearly see my scene beyond the fog_range_max distance. Any thoughts? Have
I missed something out in my fog/earth-sky calls, meaning that it's pure
luck the code works on the Impact?

many thanks

roy
