DX11 SET LIMB SORT MODE

Sets the sorting mode to be used by the specified limb during rendering.
Valid mode values:

  • 0 - Back-to-front sorting which prioritizes state changes over depth. Should be used for opaque limbs. All limbs with this mode will be drawn before any with any other modes.
  • 1 - Front-to-back sorting which prioritizes depth over state changes. Should be used for see-through limbs to ensure they blend properly with other translucent limbs behind them.
  • 2 - Front-to-back sorting which prioritizes state changes over depth. Can be used with 1-bit transparent limbs where it is more important to save render time than to have perfect sorting.
In conclusion, use mode 0 for opaque limbs and mode 1 or 2 for transparent limbs. Actually making limbs transparent is up to your pixel shaders and blend states.
