Problems with custom mesh transparency

[Shb]

I can't seem to get a custom-mesh transparent by altering the alpha values on the color vertex data 

I've even tried flipping the normals but nothing seems to work :`(

here is the play-ground : http://playground.babylonjs.com/#0MJ7M4 

Thanks

Hello,

you need to tell the engine that vertex alpha has to be used:

Thank you soooo much !

 

I thought I had hit a dead end at this point and I was beginning to lose hope I even considered individual meshes which I could adjust transparency for but I couldn’t get them lined up such the their seems wouldn’t interfere with one another resulting in dark lines, I got a sub optimal solution with shadow maps and CSG but I knew that wasn’t the way to go. 

 

(I didnt seem to see that last bit on the docs :/)

Thanks for making Babylon btw

Thanks for your kind words.

Creating documentation is such a complex project.  Even more complex than creating the engine itself

I want to thank all documentation contributors (Special thanks to @JohnK) because without them the doc would be really bad!
