I draw a whole bunch of point sprites, with the Z-buffer disabled (like all the tuts say you should). I am also drawing a patch of water with 50% transparency. No-matter where the sprites are in 3d space, they are blended with the water, making it look like they are always underwater. If Have tried beginscene ... DrawSprites DrawWater ... endscene and BeginScene ... DrawWater DrawSprites ... EndScene and in either case, I get the same results. If make the water totally opaque, then it looks fine but... I don''t want opaque water. The sprites are standard Point Sprites, drawn with variable alpha and the water is just a big rectangle textured with a .dds texture.

Doh!

Thanks FunkyMunky, that''s pretty much exactly what''s happening! They both use similar renderstates (being transparent and whatnot), but the sprites... ugh.
