Aloha, If your only concern is that balls need to be rendered correct, then you could make two views, two camera's , two scene's, and render the views when needed. If your camera doesn't turn a lot you will also gain a lot of performance, since you only have to render the table when the camera changes. The downside will be when the ball is near a border/corner it will always be on top.
so: addchild viewTable first then addchild viewRest Good luck. Ringo. On May 22, 4:50 pm, Novora <[email protected]> wrote: > Anyone can provide any assistance...?
