Hi

is it possible to show parts in foreground transparent instead of cutting them
away with the near option in camerasettings automaticaly?

Not natively, no; you'll have to implement this yourself

You could check every vertex of an object for its distance relative to the near plane, you can then set its vertex alpha accordingly
You should set a distance range in between which you want your vertices to become transparent, you can then do an interpolation between the distance vertex <-> near plane and the distance range to get your desired alpha value

Other way is to make the scene nodes transparent when they pass between the camera and the target. Check the collision methods, it is somewhat easy to do something like that.

this sort of thing could also handled in a shader a bit like a backwards fog but working on vertex alpha.
