I was working on this model and everything was going fine. After I finished making the hands I took a look at the full model and noticed this weird flickering. Naturally I tried merging by distance and recalculating the normals, but nothing changed, the flickering continued when I switched render engines.

I tried re-opening Blender and restarting my computer but the problem continued.
Here's video: Weird flickering in Blender 2.83

What troubles me the most is that it wasn't happening earlier today, I clearly made a mistake or pushed a wrong button in the process of modeling, but I have no idea what exactly.

EDIT: Google-Drive Blend File

  • $\begingroup$ Hello and welcome. for me it worked out to make a new file and then appending the object from your .blend file into it. No flickering anymore. Reason, sadly not sure, but it looked like z-fighting. $\endgroup$

The issue comes from floating point rounding error due to the clip start / end of your camera view. Basically you have somehow set the camera view to have a culling range that is too wide (from 0.0001 m to 1000 m) so the viewport rendering is flickering when you zoom out.

To fix it, set the clip start to a higher value (0.01 m should be good). Go to the right side panel with N and inside the "View" panel.

This is likely because your mirror modifier is copying and mirroring each side independently without culling one side. Check you mirror modifier options and check bisect then check or un-check flip to choose which side to delete and which side to mirror.

Probably what you did was apply the mirror modifier at some point.
