I have camera following an object, and sometimes when I rotate(turn) the camera all objects disappear, and when I turn the camera again objects become visible.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Post up the code to be checked.

I guess - without seeing any code - the camera is just rotating on its Y axis, and the environment stays still. This of course will cause your models to "disappear", since the camera is facing a direction where there is nothing...

If you want the camera to truely follow an object, position the camera in any way you want, and then put a POINT CAMERA command after that, with the followed object's coordinates.

As our friends say, we need some code to test. Try to set camera range 0.01,20000. Sometimes it happens when we have very small objects.

Cheers.

All usual fixes are mentioned above. In the unlikely event of doing some weird stuff with vertexdata, and your object disappears, use set object radius obj,-1.

Please post all of your code so we can see what you're doing.
