Alpha behind other alpha material causes entities to appear/disappear

[JangoH]

Hi reader,

I’ve been scratching my head about a potential solution for this for a while now:
Whenever entities that have special opacity are behind another entity with special opacity (i.e. a cutout tree behind glass) it causes the entities to appear/disappear based on what angle you look at it from.

How can I stop this from happening? Are there settings to make sure entities keep getting rendered?

This is likely be related to the order of rendering of transparent meshes that is explained here:

[SOLVED] Layers and affect of the 'Order'

This is my understanding of how this all works and Martin may correct me in areas The cameras render to a render target which is usually the backbuffer or a texture which is set on per camera basis. The layers listed on camera are rendered to the render target in the order that listed in rendering settings of the project [image] [image] If multiple cameras are rendering to the same render target, then the cameras rendering order is on a per camera basis via the priority on the camera. ie…

How to work around it would depend on your specific app and logic. Putting them on different render layers so you can ensure that one set of meshes is always rendered before the others. Splitting up models if this is a large mesh instance of multiple trees etc.
