HelloI am modelling a carriage with several levels of transparence with gmax. I have correctly sorted the alpha objects.
But I met the following issue: When I turned around the carriage in MSTS, the lowest priority alpha object disappears and reappears when I get my old viewpoint.I managed to locate the problem in the vol_sphere section of the *.s file. After having changed the vectors'values, the rendering of all the alpha layers was correct.I would like to understand how the vol_sphere section is generated from gmax.Thanks for any help
