transparency

core/lighting.py

Enable or disable transparency. Transparency is disabled by default.

Be sure to render all non-transparent objects first. Otherwise the color blending will be off.

Generally, when rendering with transparency your display function will be structured like this:

disable transparency, enable lighting, set material properties, etc.
draw all opaque objects
enable transparency, turn off lighting, set color poperties
draw all transparent objects

syntax

transparency(enable)

parameters

enable True or False

examples

draw a transparent sphere

def display():
   lighting(False)

   color(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
   sphere(5.0)

   transparency(True)
   color(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.3)
   sphere(5.0, style="solid")
