(i.e. you can see all the way throught the far transparent edge)

i.e. is this inevitable with transparency, or is it down to a simple model error?

Could it be because the cockpit is one sided? (wouldn't convert with double sided)

Polys viewed from the "inside" normally don't get rendered, so I guess it's because the glass is only one-sided.

Duplicate the canopy and reverse the polies on the duplicate. That'll make it two-sided.

I'll be honest, I don't see the problem.  It looks like it should to me.  A second layer of transparent material might improve things a little, but I personally don't think it's worth it.

I did.  Wouldn't convert..... it took me & Raa about 3 hours a few nights ago figuring out why the hell not.

Is the original model made on MAX?

Yup

Hmm, I'll have to talk to you tonight then.

EDIT; I checked...the 2nd piccy - the seam - is because TS ****ed up the relative positions of the hull & cockpit models when importing.  

The top one, tho, is a bit of a bug.  It may simply be down to the fact that the canopy is slightly sjnk down, so there's a seam that should be visible at the pilots edge - but isn't.  I guess the transparency rendering (z-buffering/occlusion?) doesn;t account for visible parts of the hull model, then?

May I say... feking awesome anyway.
