Blending not working??

Started by
6 comments, last by Armadon 19 years, 6 months ago
Hi guys I pasted the code here... For some reason my blending is not working. It's supposed to draw the textured quad and then blend the teapot. it's not working? might someone point me in the right direction? Thanks alot in advance.

Just been looking at your code really fast, it seems like you miss turn the z-write off just before rendering:

pDev->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZWRITEENABLE, FALSE);

Put it the beginning of DrawScene(), and remember to turn z-write on later if you need to draw objects on top.

You've setup to use vertex or material alpha (which ever is select for lighting). You don't have DIFFUSE in your FVF, so regardless of COLORVERTEX and DIFFUSEMATERIALSOURCE, you alpha will come from Material.Diffuse.a... except you never set it. You set diffuse red 4 times by accident. D'oh! ;)
Ok I have modified the code I have done the following and I still don't understand what you guys are saying but...

I've never used .x files, so I can't say for sure, but is DrawSubset setting it's own material, overwriting yours?
The Ambient propery of a material represents the brightness and colour of the material irrespective of light sources. Its really just a hack used to approximate light thats undergone many refelctions around the scene. In your teapot material, the ambient value is set to full alpha and so will be completely opaque no matter what direction your light hits it or you view it from. If you want the teapot to be transparent you'll have to lower the ambients alpha value. Just one other thing, your light.diffuse initialisation looks a bit dodgy :)
[size="1"] [size="4"]:: SHMUP-DEV ::
try to change light.whatever.a to 0.1 and material.whatever.a to 0.1 to see if it become transparant or not.
i think it's because your light.diffuse.a*material.diffuse.a + light.ambient.a*material.ambient.a + light.emmisive.a*material.emmisive.a > 1.0
I got it working guys. I left out a simple SetRenderState()
Had to enable light :)
But thanks for your comments :)
