(...) In order for GL_DEPTH_TEST to work, you have to clear the depth buffer at the same time you clear the rest of the screen: glClearDepth(1.0); glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0); glClear(GLCOLORBUFFERBIT GLDEPTHBUFFERBIT); (Note: the (...) (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) I see.. but problem is that if I use glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST) then my polygons won't render at all. Tutorials related to OpenGL explicitly told not to use GL_DEPTH_TEST because of this.. how did you avoid it? (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) For transparency, LDView sorts triangles, and only triangles, not parts. So the centroid of each triangle is (p1 + p2 + p3) * (1/3). All transparent geometry in the whole model goes into one big list of triangles. While I'm at it, I calculate (...) (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) Actually - I made it an hour shorter (specifically starting an hour later) to give people more of a chance to participate. I am flexible and willing to provide the challenge as early as all the partipants can make themselves available (hotel (...) (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)

--snip-- (...) Out of interest which centroid do you use? I would have thought that the bounding box center was better than the centre of all corner points (since these cluster around areas of high detail) but you've presumably tried different (...) (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) If you prefer not to sort at all you can use glEnable(GL_POLYGON_STIPPLE) for transparent polygons. It doesn't look nearly as good, but it's really easy to code. Have fun, Don (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) The only polygons that LDView sorts are transparent ones. Everything else is handled by the OpenGL depth buffer (glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST), followed by glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL)). Transparent polygons need to be sorted before being drawn, and (...) (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) I have fixed that problem. It has been in the xmpd.dll version 2.2.1. Now version 2.2.2 is in the download package at (URL) and detecting double lines is working again. Sorry for that trouble. cu mikeheide (15 years ago, 31-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
