Transparent texture mapped polygons [message #29892]

Is it possible to make a texture mapped polygon object partially transparent
so that it could be displayed over another texture mapped polygon?
If anyone knows how to do that please let me know.

Thank you.

I just wanted to thank you guys for your help.

It seems that DEPTH_OFFSET=1 is the best solution because the
background and the foreground images are shown on both sides of
the polygon, otherwise the transparency can be seen only from the
front side.

Thanks!

If you are using EXACTLY the same coordinates for both polygons, why don't
you try to blend both textures first, and the apply the result as a texture
to a single polygon. It will probably increase performance, and you will be
sure that there are no depth troubles.

Hope it helps,
