The EllipsoidPrimitive does not jitter. Here's why:

  • The vertex position components are in [-1.0, 1.0] and scaled by the ellipsoid radii. (positions relative to the center of the ellipsoid)
  • The model-view and model-view-projection matrices are computed on the CPU with double precision.
  • As the distance from the camera to the center of the ellipsoid decreases, the magnitude of the translation of the model-view and model-view-projection matrices decreases.

@pjcozzi Can we close this?

Yes. All good with me. I suspect it could still jitter in some extreme cases with large ellipsoids, but let's wait until it is an actual problem.
