okay well im making a FPS, but when im rendering the gun the back of it is see through due to the near clipping plane not being small enough (1 unit is 1 meter for me) so i had to set it to 0.2f, and that works for the guns, but i notice some other stuff doesnt work (like the water rises above the terrain if i am too high (but if i set it to 1 the water wont rise above the terrain until i am ridiculously high)... so i think my question is, is there a way to render the guns while ignoring the near clipping plane? (so the back isnt culled out)?

You could always render the scene, clear the Z buffer, set a new projection matrix and render the gun.

yeah i tried changing the projection matrix when rendering the gun but it made it come out huge compared to the level for some reason...guess thats how projection works heh

Try again. But this time make sure that only the near and far clip plane distances are changed and that the angle-of-view is not changed.
