[osg-users] ColorMask and depth information issue.

[Robert Osfield]

HI Alessandro,

I've read you're email but not looked at the files at from your explanation
you seem to be heading off in the wrong direction.

My guess is that you should be setting the RenderBinNum of the Occluder
subgraph which set the ColorMask(false, false,false,false) to -1 to force
it to draw before other parts of the scene graph.  The rest of the scene
graph you can just leave things in the default (opaque) state sorted bin
(the default constructed "RenderBin" is state sorted, BinNum 0).
Transparent objects you should put in a DepthSortedBin, when you use the
StateSet::setRenderingHint(TRANSPARENT_BIN) it'll select a "DepthSortedBin"
with BinNum 10.  The transparent bin is therefore draw last which helps
ensure the blending as far as possible to do correctly.

Robert.
