        Hi pfFolks,

I have a problem using the IV-loader and transparent materials. Attached is a
little file that illustrates the problem.

It contains two objects, one of which (the red one) is transparent, the other
(blue) one is opaque. Using ivview, that is. When using perfly both are
transparent (remember to switch off antialiasing, otherwise multisample
transparency using the same transparency value might hit you).

Apparently for some reason the transparency value cannot be reset to 0 after it
was set to another value. If I put the Cyl1 node before the Mat2 node
everything works fine. But as I'm writing an export option for another biggish
system I'd rather fix the import problem taht try to rearrange all my files.

I'm using the libpfiv that was posted by Eric Chauvineau. Is there a later
version or has anybody else encountered this problem and maybe fixed it?

Thanks a lot

        Dirk
