1. What determines, or how do I set things(max/material), so they get drawn in the TRANSLUCENT pass of the shader?
Use a shader with only a TRANSLUCENT pass. Whatever passes are present in the shader, will be run when the matching pass is drawn in the pipeline config.
Thanks for the reply, I did try this, and it doesn't seem to be executing my Context("TRANSLUCENT");

Obviously this isn't finalized, just want to make sure this is working before I continue, I figured I would at least see the the objects mapped with the shader, but I don't see them.

Recently, I took it upon myself to help out someone try to land a potential gig, I looked to this Engine, I started diving back into things, and have learned a lot in a couple days, I find myself now, needing to clear one more hurdle, before I can get into the clear.
