Are you sure the other program uses alpha-blend and not alpha-clip?
I would try alpha clipping if I knew how to do it. Is there a state
attribute for this?
Alpha clip, with a low clip threshold, can work even if you have partial transparency.
Alpha clip can be much higher performance for large numbers of transparent objects because
it does _not_ need the performance hit of the Transparent Bin z-sort. Z-sort can get heavy
with large numbers of items, and it is done once per frame.
I don't have the code in front of me to cite an Alpha Clip example, perhaps someone
else can from memory?
Thanks Chris.
