hi guys, i'm a new comer with poor English, so please forgive me.
Here is my problem: when rendering a semi-transparent cone, i wanna its back to show up too. However, even if i turn off the cull option, but some part of the cone's back is not shown. I guess the reason is that it fails the z-test because DB sometimes draws the front part first. Is there any way or set I could take to make it auto z-queued? What is the exact meaning of the option of "set object tranparency"?
Thanx for ur helps!

Seeing the code you're using is usually necessary to solve your problem.

However, in this case there are really only two things it could be:

1.) You aren't using the cull command correctly. It should be:

SET OBJECT CULL Object,0


2.) Your cone doesn't have a capped end (it's just the pointy part and not the base). If you need the base, you'll have to make the cone in a 3rd-party modelling application, because DBPro primitive cones (and cylinders) do not have capped ends.
