I am now pleased to announce the second of many tech oriented articles that will be placed here on the Blue Lotus Blog. This time it is about a problem in computer graphics that I have been working on for years called Order Independent Translucency. It is something so simple and basic that you might wonder why nobody has solved it. So have I. That is why I have decided to write about it and have included some example source code to go with it. In this article I outline the problem, discuss and implement the currently most promising solution and suggest a better hardware-based solution. Come on in and let us make you aware of a problem that you were happy to be oblivious to.
