 velcrome | i am trying my hand with stride for the first time | 10:43:33 |
| velcrome | is there any place I can write down the pitfalls that I encounter? | 10:44:06 |
| velcrome | its all minor stuff so far, but that could potentially be a dead end for beginners and at least a weird annoyance for anybody else | 10:47:38 |
| velcrome | like a SceneWindow works without a camera, but a SceneTexture fails, even though it claims to be equivalent | 10:48:20 |

is there any place I can write down the pitfalls that I encounter? yes, please start a forum thread about this! | 10:52:55 |

| velcrome | one more question | 11:13:14 |
| velcrome | if I want to join a mesh manually, is there a stride way for this? | 11:14:04 |
| velcrome | I want to feed vertices (with uv) and indices | 11:14:21 |
| bj-rn | There is a Dynamic Mesh How To in the help browser | 11:43:58 |

| bj-rn | Does (should) z-sorting work when using instancing and transparency? | 13:23:18 |

| bj-rn | The result doesn't look quite right, or does it? | 13:24:38 |

I want to draw Entities with BlendMode "Add" additive blending is part of transparency in stride: https://doc.stride3d.net/4.0/en/manual/graphics/materials/misc-attributes.html#transparency | 14:48:58 |
| tebjan | if you use materials, just connect Additive to the Transparency input | 14:49:16 |

Does (should) z-sorting work when using instancing and transparency? yes, the instances will be rendered in the order of the instance matrices | 14:49:53 |
| tebjan | did you order back to front? the front ones have to be rendered last, it looks inverted | 14:52:18 |

| tebjan | * did you order back to front? the front ones have to be rendered last, it looks inverted | 14:52:51 |
| bj-rn | So the sorting has to be done manually? | 14:53:24 |
| tebjan | yes, it is one draw call, when you use instancing | 14:53:45 |
| tebjan | the engine will only sort per entity | 14:54:02 |
| bj-rn | Ah I see, thought the engine would take care of this. | 14:54:20 |
