i have this 2d game where i will need to zoom out at an extreme level. thing is, once i translate past about -100 in the z direction, it doesnt draw the objects. i have it set up so that the closest possible zoom level (-0.11) is the closest i want to get, but how can i got farther away than -100?

Thats an easy one, In the code you use to resize the scene, or wherever u use gluPrespective, change the last parameter to what you want. Understand?

Or zoom in/out by changing the perspective angle, because then you won''t have to deal with the near/far clipping plane at all.

You could
(1) as bob suggested, increase your far clipping plane distance
(2) reduce the scale of your world
(3) as cows suggested, change the viewing angle.

Later,
