But what should I do with the panel that goes in the center?, I mean that's not part of the background, isn't there a way to just use a window for a 3d object? so I still can be able to fade in every element one by one. The solution given by you is a good one but it should not work for me because the panel of the center I'm going to use in the last version will have some details, so I want it to fade in as a separated element, I can do this with a 2D easily but with a 3D I can't

you can still do that, do not change fading function,

set layers as main background 1, 2nd background picture as 2, 3d model as 3, and the last large frame as 4.

that should work.

This is what I get






thanks for the replays

then edit the topmost graphic so it has that places are not transparent(copy parts of background to the top panel)

Thanks Quadraxas, that worked for me. =)

This comunity rocks!

Your images make me curious.
Any hints what sort of game or software this is going to be?

Sure, it is an infographic prototype in development for the government, In case that they aprove the program, I might be getting A7 Pro Edition. The program is about my current city and shows edifications as well as touristic places so if anyone want to visit the city they might get the software as some kind of guide, the program features the 3D map you're seeing, with gallery and information of every major touristic places as well as the history of the city.

This is how the prototype map of the city is going to be so for the full version I plan on having full adress of the places, take a look:

Nice !

Just a question, how you want to print it? (i ask because there is a print symbol )

That's another problem I'm having right now, here's the thread on that http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=314102#Post314102

Looks interesting!

Include windows.h and use StartDoc, GetDefaultPrinter and the like, I have no clue but that's what google says.
