Does anyone know if 3d objects are automaticly hidden when not seen by the camera?
If so, is it possible to turn it off?

This bugs me since when my character is almost out of screen its disapears when the arm still should be visible.

Maybe its my code?

Try using calculate object bounds. If that doesn't work:
1) Scale your model to 150% (of its current size)
2) Try calculate object bounds again
3) Scale the model back down to the desired size

you shouldn't have this problem, check the camera rotation speed, movement speed, sync rate, they all play important part in rendering.

The object radius to 0 should work but you will have performance hit if used on many objects
If what revenant suggested dont work you can always take a look at the object in an object editor and recenter any limb offsets that may be there, but this may not be suitable for the objects appearance - depends on the object really. Not ideal but its an option and has worked for me many times in the past

The real problem is the camera range. If we set camera range 1,30000 we asure that the camera will see all objects from distance 1 to 30000 .

Cheers.
