Draw Priority Inheritance example

[DavidBraun]

I have a question and example file about this paragraph http://www.derivative.ca/wiki088/index.php?title=Transparency#Draw_Priority

Lets say /character1/geo has a draw priority of 1 and /character2/geo has a draw priority of 0. In this case everything inside of /character1/geo will get rendered first, followed by everything inside /character2/geo.

What I’ve noticed is that this only works if the render TOP is set to render “character1 character2”. If instead you specify geo children like “character1/geo1 character2/geo1”, then those geo don’t inherit the draw priority of their parents. It’s hard to describe in abstract, but much easier with an example, so please check out the file!

thank you for the heads up.
Why the vertex transformation and shading information is inheritable but the draw “id” \ priority isn’t?
all this Inheritance case sounds like racist bug to me

Its also made me learn about
Early Depth Test, didnt know the primitive id also have rule in how its been rendered.
