Hello everybody. It may be, that my question is old and was already answered somewhere earlier, but recently I lost my copy of this list (see below) and so there it goes: Rough System-Setting: AMD K7, DirectX 7.0, Viper Diamond V770 TNT 2. I had no probs with Transparency in my scenes until I had to rebuild my whole system-environment cause of a disastrous HD crash. I reinstalled jdk1.3 and the 1.1.2 beta directX version of the API. Until then, all transparent objects in my scenes are displayed opaque. It seems that all TransparencyAttributes are ignored. I tried also jdk1.2 which worked fine before the crash. All other graphic components stayed unchanged. I also tried the NVidia reference drivers for my TNT2 rather then diamond's driver-package, but without any effect. The API doesnt complain about something and retrieves the correct TransparencyAttributes when asked. It just doesnt display any transparent object that way, so I believe the hit is somewhere between directx and the hardware drivers of my Viper. Any hints or known issues about this topic?? - Cause I experienced no similar problems before the crash, this drives me crazy ... slowly and painfully :-( Greetings.
