yet another limitation.. 2004-02-26 - By Oz Adi
Back
it's already high..
it's set to 4, and when the transparent phong is connected directly to the
shadow,
the shadow looks ok, it looks transparent. when I connect the mix2colors
output to the shadow, it seems
like xsi dont know to use the mixed data, to determine where the shadow
should be opaque and where its transparent.
(I got an opaque sticker mixed onto the glass model)
