Technical forum / 3D actor still visible when behind an object?
« on: May 30, 2007, 07:30:42 PM »
Got a total noob question; 
I tried to follow the Trinity demo to where she's behind the crates and is
"covered" by the crates as she should be.
When I try to do this in my first test scene, I get wierd results:
There is a tree in my scene, and I created a sprite entity (just like
the crates in the trinity/front scene) and placed it on top of my
rendered tree so the actor would be invisible when walking behind
the tree.
What I'm getting is this:
The guy is still visible when he's behind the tree, he's fine when he's a little in front
of it, and then he's covered by the sprite when he's closer to the camera.
Obviously, my tree-sprite isn't placed right. But how do I place it correctly?
I searched the docu and the forum but I can't find an answer on how to fix that.
Anyone, please?
(I gotta say that I feel like a total tool in this forum.. Aren't there any other beginners
here to ask stupid questions as well?? It seems like everyone else here is years ahead
of where I am right know. Is there some additional documentation around that I don't
know of and that gives all these answers to someone who is new to WME?
