Try running this:

Osgviewer SmokeBox.osg.0,90,0.rot SmokeBox.osg

This doesn't show any anomalies even though the smoke boxes have the same
positions.  Maybe because the smoke is faded away?

 

You can also try

Osgviewer SmokeBox.osg.0,90,0.rot SmokeBox.osg cessnafire.osg

Since the smoke box has binnumber 13 it will have priority over the Cessna
smoke and fire.

 

You will still see an anomaly here because the particles are traveling away
from their source (which is where they are depth sorted from).  You will see
something like this:



The only way I know around this is to split up the particle system into
multiple particle systems, so that their depth sort is more likely to
succeed.

Hello,

 

The settings you mentioned below have been set. These are set  by default 

within the osg particle system. The problem still exists when I create 

another bin.

 

I wish I could be of help with the polygon sorting, but I have never 

implemented it with osg.
