Hi,

my 3D scene consists of transparent and opaque meshes that can overlap each other, can be nested, and be in different orders (solid-transparent; transparent-solid).

I played around with transparency in Ardor3D but I can't find a setting where everything is rendered correctly in each situation. Depending on the camera position, parts of the geometry suddenly pop-up or disappear.

I found Juliens post on that topic which helped me to resolve some issues:

Is there a way to incorporate order-independent transparency in Ardor3D? Is order-independent transparency supported by Jogl? Would it be a complex task?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Stefan
