Largescale DEM render artifacts at the edges

[TL-4319]

Hi Antoine,

Hope all is going well. I have a quick question regarding a rendering artifact at the edge of the DEM when using the large scale environment. I attached the images.

The first image show the artifacts when zoomed out which seems to be some weird behavior at the edges of the downloaded DEM.

The second image shows that it does get rendered from an attached camera. I also see the artifact when viewing from RVIZ.

My quick fix for it now is to move the starting position of the robot to be further center of the loaded DEM so i don't even see the artifacts but I wonder if there is a way to fix it correctly.

Thanks in advance

Hi there!

These are not rendering artifacts. That is the intended behavior. It is either that, or just a black background. If you'd rather not see it let me know. I can add a parameter in the environment config.

I would like to not render those for our application. Please let me know when you have added the feature. Thanks

Alright, I need to modify the GPU accelerated terrain rendering, I'm a bit busy this week, but I'll try to do it before the end of next week. If you want to do it before that, I can explain how to go about it on discord.

Best,

Antoine

I'm in no rush for that at the moment because of other projects at the same time. Thank you!
