Hi, I am retrieving a vrml model into my 3D world. The nodes in the vrml file contain a transparency value of either 0 or 1. I have to problems:
1. I cannot change the transparency on a node that has an initial value of 0. The only way that I can change the transparency on that node is to go into the vrml file and physically change the value from 0 to 0.01. The next time I retrieve that vrml file, the node appears semi-transparent and I can then change the transparency on the node. What am I doing wrong? 2. When I change the transparency of a node and that node contains children, the children's transparency is also being change along with it. The situation that I have is the following: I have a node that is visible that I want to be able to control transparency. The same node contains child nodes that are not visible and I don't ever want them to be visible. So as I change the transparency of the parent node, I want the child nodes to remain hidden. (By the way, before I can even change the transparency value on the parent node, I have to edit the vrml file and change the transparency value of that node from 0 to 0.01.) What am I doing wrong? I am trying to resolve this problem ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
