Problem where two surfaces meet
If ya run the attached code/demo, you will notice that the edge where blue and green/white surfaces meet is flickering... it is not solid as I would expect it to be and this my concern since it is a lot more noticable in my program. I am not sure how to get around with this and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanx All,
