On our old RE-1 machine, transparent objects were/are correctly blended
together, but I have never found a way to get the correct "mixing" affect
when two transparent objects cross on our Infinite Reality. I've done this
in OpenGL by using glDepthMask( GL_FALSE ) command, but I want the same
result with some transparent objects that are loaded as DWB models. I have
the DWB loader source, so I could custom patch the model as it's loaded if
necessary (it's a dirty way, but it's got to be done), if there is some
object setting within performer that would achieve the same result.
