Weird transparency issue

by Lee Latham · in Torque Game Engine · 12/01/2007 (5:42 pm) · 2 replies

I have this odd thing. I have a plane DTS (ie. two dimensional) with a translucent PNG on it which emulates wrought iron. But for some reason, the tree behind it shows through the black bits. What am I seeing, here?

We had a similar problem as this when 1 shape was in front of another, even bringing the front shape close to the camera would still cause the one behind to show through. Once we turned on Anistropic filtering, it stopped doing it

Hmm, thanks for the feedback. I've got it on via the Nvidia control panel, and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

It's driving me crazy because it seems like there should be a simple workaround, but for the life of me I can't think of one--other than using a model for the wrought iron, which would result in an unacceptably high polycount.
