Alpha and Mesh edges Rendering

Hello,

I'm making randomly generated mini maps. I'm generating height with a noise generator and need to add "water" when the height is < 0.

https://freckle-ripper.hyperdev.space/ (env are randomly generated, refresh for an image with water).

The problem is the following : I draw the boxes' edges with the enable edges rendering function. When the edges are belonoging to boxes in the sea, I'm expecting to see them at least "blurry", cause there is some water above it. Right now, the edges doesn't seem to be afected by the fact that there is a transparent mesh above it. The edges are way too clean for something under a mesh. 

Is there a way to make it look as if it's underwater ?

Thank you

Hi Quadear.... good to see you again.

   I'm no expert, but I know two other ways to do edge outlines.  Both suck, but both are not post-processing effects, and therefore SHOULD be affected by semi-transparent mesh atop.

#1.  The linesMesh method.  http://playground.babylonjs.com/#QKQHS#375

That is a miserable "remake" of .showBoundingBox, except you can't see back-side lines THROUGH the mesh.  It takes a serious bit of code per box, likely diminishing performance.

#2.  The 6-plane boxMaker function, with slight gaps at the edges, and another colored box put inside.  http://playground.babylonjs.com/#TYAHX#69

This is also quite a miserable task, and performance damaging. 

Deltakosh's idea is much wiser.  :)
