Hey all. I''m making a terrain engine using triangle strips and a heightmap and what not, and have come across a problem. Say I have an array representing the terrain..somethign like area[50]50] I can set the triangles up and get it to read in the height and all that, but my problem comes when there rendered. The triangles in [0][0] are, of course rendered before [50][50]. Thats where the problem comes in. The ones rendered last can be seen threw the ones rendered first. If I stand on [0][0] I can see threw all the land in an ugly mess to [50][50], but if I stand on [50][50] and look back it looks good. Should there be an algorithm I should pass the triangles threw before rendering them? Sorry if the post makes no sense, I hate asking questions like this because I think I just missed something stupid like a different Render State. Oh yeah, sorry if this was asked before, but the words "Order Direct3d Primitives drawn" and other variations like that are on the forum''s search ignore list.

hahaha. Ahhh.....after you step away from the computer for a few hours things can become clearer. heheh. It was partly the Zbuffer. I had one set up......just some of the parameters were messed up. I looked at it again and got it working in 5 minutes. heheh. anyways, thanks!
