Although I've been using Unity for over a decade now, this is very much a n00b question:

How do I prevent GameObjects from disappearing when close to the camera? In particular, when the centre of the object is no longer in the view volume (but other parts of it are)?

This isn't just to do with polygons, since when (say) a cube suffers from this problem it's clear the whole thing disappears at once, not just one triangle at a time.

(I am aware of the "clipping planes" setting on the Camera, but it doesn't help since the near plane cannot be set below zero. I am not using occlusion culling.)

Any tips?

Update: Now solved.

The problem was that Unity relies on the cached value of mesh.bounds to do frustrum culling, so any change to a mesh must be followed by an explicit call to mesh.RecalculateBounds(), even if you're not using a MeshCollider.
