Transparent polygons need to be sorted before being drawn, and (...) (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)

In combination with depth buffer you don't need to sort anything just push the triangles and/or quad cords using glDrawElements and optionally (...)

| | | | | | (...) 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)
