yes, that is expected. OpenSG does sort transparent geometry from back to front for correct blending, but it does not sort at the primitive (triangle) level. > We're using a ChunkMaterial including a MaterialChunk, a DepthChunk and a > BlendChunk. > > DepthFuction: GL_LEQUAL this is the default. > BlendFunction: GL_GEQUAL src: GL_SRC_ALPHA dest: GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA > > According to some older mailing list messages we tried to put each triangle > of the box into a separate geometry node, that brought no improvement. > > Ideas? by placing every face of the boxes in a separate geometry the object level sorting should get this right. One thing that could happen is that by using an explicit DepthChunk you enable depth writes for transparent objects (OpenSG normally makes the depth buffer read only while rendering transparent objects). Can you try removing the depth chunk or setting _sfReadOnly on it to true (dc->setReadOnly(true);).
