Material Alpha not working?
Author
Currently I am trying to create a semi-transparent object using only a D3DMATERIAL. I've given the material an alpha value (for all components although diffuse color should suffice). Following the code in the SDK I am unable to get the object to be anything but opaque (although the color is correct). I would expect it to blend with the background color. Below is the SDK code. Are there any other render states that need to be enabled/disabled for this to work?
from the SDK (Material Alpha):
Thanks,
Chris Z.
