Transparency and Geometry

Post by Mr_Ridd »

Hey

When I use the alpha channel with the set color key thing, the transparency doesn't take into account other geometry in the world. I have a skybox and two houses. There are leaves on the houses which have transparency in them. If I look through the house(leaves) at the skybox its fine. If I look through the house at the other house I still see the skybox.

How can I make the alpha channel also use other geometry for it's transparency?

Thanks

I am not sure if they can solve your problem but look these threads:

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=2977

Also both are for v.0.6 so I am not sure if it was fixed in v.0.7 already or not.

Yeah thanks. You've showed me those before. My transparency is working properly except for taking geometry into account.
