Transparency Layers

Hi Phil,

Have you tried looking in the 3DC forum in UK TrainSim ??? I seem to recall a post where someone took transparency and translucency to the nth degree… Complete with pictures of many cubes within cubes… It went into great detail on the subject… I looked – I just can’t seem to locate it at the moment…

Regards,
Scott

I there an upper limit to the number of transparency layers? A particular car I’m working on would require me to use Alpha Pr 7 for the outside, and 8 for the lettering. I have the interior transparencies working perfectly, but the exterior windows appear as though I’m using a 1 bit Alpha channel. FWIW, I’m working with a specular value of 50, so it isn’t a problem of a low specular value suppressing the Alpha channel.

Thanks kindly for any suggestions. -P
