I have DBC and loaded an object, it makes the backgorund color blue. It also hides text. How can I change the background color in order for it to not hide text?

The text hides because of the blue thing, what we call backdrop.
To turn it off, simply use backdrop off. You will see that the blue thing is gone, but you'll also see that if you rotate the object, the screen doesn't get updated correctly.

(Like in this example)


Which is ofcourse not always handy.

If you want to avoid this... Well, then you don't have much choice but using loops.

Example:


Beside this, we usually use sync on and sync, to make the program run smoothly.

(You only see the effect when you have lower fps)

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.
