Hi,

I'm sure this question has been answered before. However, I missed it
and couldn't find a real handle in the performer FAQ. Im loading a medit
(2.0) file into a performer application (my own application or perfly).
The medit file contains one textured polygon. The texture shows a
sinewave-grating filtered with a 2d gaussian. The special thing about
the texture is that the alpha values of the texture are adjusted
according to the output of the 2D gaussian,i.e the texture is completely
transparent at its borders, then the transparency smoothly decreases
towards the center, where the pattern is opaque.

When loading the respective polygon to a performer application, the
transparency of the texture is no longer changing continously. Instead I
have a binary pattern of transparancies. The peripheral parts of the
polygon are completetly transparent whereas the center parts are opaque.
i was checking various settings for pfTransparency including high
quality, but no change.

Can anyone help ?
  

thanks,

  hartwig
