RE: [Plib-users] transparent cube

[Dave M. <Dav...@dy...>]

We recently had a discussion about this on plib-devel.  Read this

http://web2.airmail.net/sjbaker1/alpha_sorting.html

For my game, I simply disable Z-write translucent polygons.  Here's my hack
for ssgDList.cxx

void _ssgDrawDList ()
{
  glDepthMask ( false ) ;

  for ( int i = 0 ; i < next_dlist ; i++ )
    dlist [ i ] . draw () ;

  next_dlist = 0 ;

  glDepthMask ( true ) ;
}

YMMV,

Subject: [Plib-users] transparent cube



Hi,
Great work, with PLIB1.4.1 !!

I still have some problems with transparencies :-( . From the doc and your 
previews answers PLIB renders translucent polygon in no particular order. 
Unfortunately I have to display some objects that globally act like 
transparent cubes,  with a correct rendering of the faces in the back. Is 
there a way to force the drawing order of leaves in ssg ? Or any way around 
to get the right result ?

Thanks,

Marc.
