So, I really think that this is not the way to proceed. I presume I can
solve this with some accumulation z buffer, collecting any object
depth then
drawing all the objects at the end. But I don't know whether this
method
exists or not.
Is anyone here who knows how to solve this "transparent" problem?
Please.
There should be a solution, for sure!
Well it's pretty easy to determine the distance an object is away from
the
"camera" if you know the location of your two objects.. (x,y,z). If
your
camera is at (0,0,0) looking down the -z-axis, then the object with the
largest negative z coordinate is at the greatest depth and should be
drawn
first. You would have to deal with other transformational and
rotational
maths if you camera is at a different point and looking down and
arbitrary
vector, but the math isn't very complicated.
I know that this isn't the best solution, but it probably is one of the
easiest. Like somebody else already pointed out, there really isn't a
great solution. If your objects overlap each other in 3d-space, you may
even have to sort polygons to make it look more accurate. Ideally,
pixels
would be drawn to order, but I don't think you want to attempt that...
