Transparant Figures [message #500748] Fri, 27 November 2009 19:07 Go to next message

Hi guys,

My figures don't appear to be filling -- please see attached screenshot. Is this perhaps something I'm messing up with rendering order? I've verified that fill is true and alpha is 255.

cheers,

Miles

Hi Miles,

you seem to have forgotten to actually attach a screenshot!

Best regards
Kristian

Yeah...hmmm...I can't seem to get image attachment to work in the forum software. Here's a link instead..

This is a simple shot of some cylinders being drawn. the first is for superimposed false -- some seem to be capped and some not. For the second super-imposed is true and none of the appear to be capped.

Please submit a bug for this. The cylinders are drawn "inside out",
that is, the inner faces are filled and the outer faces are not.

OK, will do. One thought I had looking at the superimposed figures. It sort of seems as though the images are being drawn for an observer that was looking from the other direction. I'm wondering if it possible that I've violated some expectation of the rendering engine. I'm not using any of the surface layouts or helpers.

I messed up the polygon orientation (front vs. back) when filling the
polygons. I'm pretty sure it's a bug, I'll look into it.
