Alpha/Cutout Texture Question [SOLVED]

[djeustice]

Good afternoon. Today I was given a glb of an engine part.  The artist added a cutout texture to the model.  When I load it into my BJS scene, the engine has a transparent/ghost-like  appearance.  I thought adding backfaceCulling = false and hasAlpha = true would solve this but no luck.  Here's my code below:

    var myEngine = BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("", "models/", "2.glb", scene, function (newMeshes)  {
        myEngine = newMeshes[0];
        myEngine.material.backFaceCulling = false;
        myEngine.material.hasAlpha = true;
    });

Do I have to create a new material and add it to the glb like in this playground?

Here is an image of the engine:

@djeustice Can you share the model? It's hard to debug the issue without it. If you can't share the model, can you share what tool is being used to export the glb?

Good morning and thanks for the reply!  I uploaded the glb here:

The model was created in Modo.

Thanks again!

When I load the model into BJS sandbox, and checking needDepthPrePass, it seems get rid of alpha issue.

Gasp, that worked! Thank you very much for your help!
