Post subject:  Particle system corrupts with Opengl draw functions
I've been working on building a room with fire using Hord3D. I try to use the Opengl draw functions to visualize my pathfinding algorithm.
But I got this:

I am thinking about to modify the particle shader. Anyway, is the rendering order to do with this problem? :?

I have modified my particle.shader like this:
Code:
context TRANSLUCENT
{
   VertexShader = compile GLSL VS_TRANSLUCENT;
   PixelShader = compile GLSL FS_TRANSLUCENT;
   
   ZWriteEnable = true;
   BlendMode = Replace;
}

The particle system became like this:

This change solves the "cover(culling)" problem, but the particle system became kind of "ugly", maybe something wrong with the texture?

Particles must be rendered last, and without writing to zbuffer.

I just played with this a bit, and here some hackish C# code:

Code:
        public override void Render(float time)
        {
            Camera.Update();

            // hide only particles
            h3d.setNodeFlags(particles.Node, (int)h3d.H3DNodeFlags.Inactive, true);
            h3d.render(Camera.Node);
            h3d.setNodeFlags(particles.Node, 0, true); // back to visible


            // draw GL stuff
// remember push all attribs (states) first, draw, then pop attribs


            // hide everything
            h3d.setNodeFlags(h3d.H3DRootNode, (int)h3d.H3DNodeFlags.Inactive, true);
            // set only particles visible
            h3d.setNodeFlags(particles.Node, 0, true);
            h3d.render(Camera.Node);

            h3d.setNodeFlags(h3d.H3DRootNode, 0, true); // all visible
        }



Then I had to modify forward.pipeline.xml,
Code:
         <ClearTarget depthBuf="true" colBuf0="false" />

I changed colBuf0="true" to false so second h3d.render() doesnt clear screen.
With my scene this works because I have skybox, so clearing isnt necassary anyway.

Thanks! It works for me. I think it is the simplest solution.

Then I can move on!
