Many thanks for your help. Brings me a few steps further now. But still doesn't work. I surely did something wrong.

Okay, the FX file and its code is clear. I don't think i did something wrong here.

But in which WDL file comes the upper code? I have written it into a file called culloff.wdl for now.



Then i have included this file into my main WDL file.



Now i have given my destination object the No_culling action.



But when i start it i get errors:

You didn't do the action properly. Try this:

Code:

---

material mat_twoside
{
    effect = "twoside.fx";
}

action No_culling
{
    my.material = mat_twoside;
}

Many thanks. Now it works

Next is to get rid off of the wrong Z-ordering problem ...

You could use the Improved Overlay material from the wiki.

I could. And i have. Just to find out that it kills my soft transitions of my alphachannel. Now that looks crap ...

Besides the fact that it didn't change my Z- ordering problems. Strange but true

...Whats it for? Hair?

If so, I have some code I could post for you. What you do is render the backfaces first, then render it again with the front faces. Rendering it once won't blend properly...

It's mainly for vegetation like this trees. This shot is from my rendersoftware:



As you can imagine, looks not this good when the branches in the back are rendering in front of the trunk

Same concept as my hair shader. Here's something similar, not sure if it's right. If it doesn't work, then I'll post the actual code.

NOTE: For the FX file

Code:

---

technique twoside
{
    pass p1
    {
        // Render back faces
        cullmode = cw;
        alphaBlendEnable = true;
        alphaTestEnable = true;
        zWriteEnable = true;
    }
    pass p2
    {
        // Render front faces
        cullmode = ccw;
        alphaBlendEnable = true;
        alphaTestEnable = true;
        zWriteEnable = true;
    }
}

Now we have a winner. This works perfect. Many thanks
