Alpha/Transparency Sorting, Your Z-buffer, and You

Since this comes up every three or four days, I decided to put together some visual aids. There is often a lot of confusion with how pixels get processed in relation to the z-buffer and why sorting is important. Most importantly it can be mind-warping trying to wrap one’s head around how to ‘fix’ the cases where proper sorting isn’t possible. Hopefully these diagrams help show the futility of it all… I mean the trade offs one has to make to get transparency looking its best in the general cas…

The issue is how things are sorted from back to front. Your best bet is to implement your own comparator since it seems like you might be able to sort on just Z or whatever.
