hi Kassen,
* For some reason hiding p also makes the animation go away. Is that
expected behaviour? If at all realistic I'd like to be able to hide p yet
still have a animated texture.
hiding stops rendering, it is a known thing. use (scale 0) as a workaround.
* Something here is causing transparency of the texture, but not of the
pixel primitive. This looks cool but I don't understand where it comes from.
For a moment I thought that (colour x) was being translated to (colour
(vector x x x x)) where x=0 would lead to transparency, but (colour 1) also
gives transparency.
(colour (vector 0 1)) would give (vector 0 0 0 1), black with full
opacity. but the problem is with (blur), which also modifies the alpha
channel.
* I also don't understand why it's inconsistent, with some faces being
transparent when "looking in", others only "looking out". You'll probably
have to rotate the whole thing about a bit to see what I mean.
because they are written to the depth-buffer. use (hint-ignore-depth),
and all the faces will be rendered properly.
best,
gabor
