texture mapping with alpha problem
Author
Hi
I am drawing two texture mapped quads, one behind the other and slightly off to the side. The texture is a tree with a transparent background.
When I draw the quad closest to the camera first, I get a weird white outline around the non-transparent part of the texture where it overlaps the quad behind it. If I draw them in the reverse order (i.e furthest from the camera first) then all is fine.
Here is some code snippets:

Here is a bit more of a visual description of what is going on.

When I draw furthest quad to camera first:

I've always been under the impression that it's best to draw the furthest items from the camera first. Your image samples certainly seem to justify this.
The one that looks right is typically the right way to draw transparent objects, back to front. You draw them from the front the first blends with whats in the buffer already (i guess your white clear color?) then the second one gets drawn behind, but only where the front one doesnt exsist, so you get the outline.

hmmm.
I guess that is an option. But it means that if i have dynamically changing position then some more sophisticated algorithm/data structure is needed to always draw the furthest objects first.
I thought there may have been a way around this that would allow me to draw the objects in any order...
