Despite offering the glow outline as a substitute for doing model transparency, the designers eventually wanted it anyway. \u00a0This was the first pass at it, and it was fairly successful. \u00a0I had to handle an intermediate accumulation step for drawing so that objects could be sorted between transparency and not, and then transparent objects could be distance sorted. \u00a0This first iteration only did a\u00a0front face\u00a0pass, so while the transparency effect was achieved, there was no volumetric depth to transparent models. \u00a0At the time, this wasn’t seen as an issue, and so transparency did not see improvement for a while after this.<\/p>\n
