Hello the Interlopers. So I've been working on a simple prop for a CS:GO map in Blender and it does some crazy magic that I don't want it to, where you can see further away bits of the model through closer bits. It's difficult to explain, so I'll draw you a picture:



As you can see, there's some mental MC Escher shit going on!

At first I thought it must be something to do with the direction of the normals, but I've recalculated and flipped them in Blender a number of times to no avail. Then I thought maybe it was because I hadn't sealed off bits of the mesh, so I tried that but it's still screwed up. The only other thing I could think to do was turn no cull on in the texture, but that was also a failure.

Anybody had this before and managed to fix it? Is there something incredibly obvious that I'm missing (hint: there probably is)?

This is a source problem with transparency. Basically you need to make two differeent textures for your model, one the grate and the other the rest of the shopping cart. And instead of using $transparency use $alphatest on the grate texture.

Excellent solution, thanks Arma!

Now I understand why all of Valve's vehicles have separate windows.
