 Performer uses msalpha transparency to blend LOD nodes, so this works
 only if the pipe has multisamples, so only on RE and IR graphics.

 Now, you can use bending transparency to do the same, but then
 you have to sort the object and this is more complex database design,
 but will work on O2 as well as Impact

 Bon courage
