far clipping plane bug (>1000 has no effect)

Hi Gerald I thought this was a bug too, but then I found out what was going on. I was instantiating the controller so I couldn't just change the prefab at the child level. I had to pull the controller back into the scene and dive deeper into the camera controller left camera and right camera and manually set the clip planes on the cameras themselves at the deepest level, then replace the prefab with the new one.

Hi Mike,

awesome - so the easy fix ... just press "apply" on one of the cameras so the values are used. :lol:

Thank you so much, suddenly it no longer "breaks" :)

Wow, thank you for this. I've been banging my head for half the weekend trying to figure out why the cameras seem to be clipping at 1000 regardless of my in-game settings. I feel kinda stupid for not thinking of it earlier. :lol:

Since installing the new SDK I can't seem to get any changes to the OVRCamera components to stick - whether using 'apply' or saving over the prefab, anyone else having this issue?

Thanks, that's it exactly :)

Hi, I'm trying to make a clipping plane of 2000 and after following the steps above it does not seem to be working. I set the far clipping value to 2000 in the OVR Camera Controller and the child CameraRight & CameraLeft objects and hit apply. I tried deleting the OVR Camera controller prefab and dragging in another from the project view. The far clipping values looked correct at 2000. Still no luck.

I even looked in the OVRCameraController.cs file and it has the serialized field line as suggested:

	[SerializeField]
	private float 		farClipPlane    = 1000.0f;  
	public  float 		FarClipPlane...

Any ideas short of changing the OVRCameraController.cs file itself? Thanks in advance...

You just need to adjust the value on the OVRCameraController (not on the cameras). I just tested it and can confirm that it works properly.

Thanks CyberReality, that helped. My problem was that there are two components attached to my OVRCameraController that have far clipping values: a Camera component and an OVRCamera Controller Script component. I had set the Camera far clip to 2000, but had missed the script value, which is apparently the only thing that matters.

That's awesome, I was adjusting only the Clipping plane for the left and right cameras. Didn't know I should do the same for the OVR camera controller. It worked for me.

Thanks alot,
