Hi! I tried drawing a transparent image in P3D, and it does not look correct. I heard on other posts, you could firstly draw the non transparent blocks and then the transparent ones, but that is a bad option, because in the second Screenshot, it shows why.

Does anybody know a solution to that problem?
