Element Not Rendering Behind Slightly-Transparent Texture
Posted: 13 Jul 2017, 18:36
Hi all,
I came across an interesting problem yesterday and was wondering if anyone had encountered this or knows how to avoid it. Take a look at this picture:

The front element with the slightly transparent texture seems to turn the sides of the model invisible. It's interesting that it only affects the West/East elements and not the North/South. It also seems that the diamond (a separate entity) disappears behind it as well. I tried using a plane instead - no difference.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Or any technical explanation as to why this happens? I would really like to keep the texture slightly transparent, but obviously need the sides to render.
Thanks,
~ E
