OIC. Yeah that makes sense. I've tried to test the alpha between 0.04 - 0.06 and it worked. However, it worked when I placed it before the view dependent culling. I think the alpha got screwed by the culling's shader because I happened to experience an artifact when I was trying to use a billboard plants. The billboard plants only consist of a quad with a texture of trees on one side and opaque (alpha 0.0) pixels for transparency. However, the transparency seems rather weird, if I rotated the camera, it would occasionally be transparent or not, depending on the rotation of the camera. Dunno if this is an artifact from my application or it is actually from osgOcean, but you might try to test it yourself.
