<div dir="ltr">Hello, Mr. Howard,<div><br></div><div>Yes, I also think that the alpha should be blend similar to rgb. It will be simple to implement. </div><div><br></div><div>About the channel lock, the artists want it, so having it would be good think, I can do it with r,g,b bool in the brush struct and changing them from UI, Can you tell me the concept of padding you mention before for adding element in the structure. </div><div><br></div><div>For visualization section, Can cull face be useful? but for the cases like plane the back view will not be displayed. </div><div><br></div><div>Another thing that can be done is drawing according the depth the most depth faces first, I haven't done it before). This blog explains this very well <a href="https://learnopengl.com/#!Advanced-OpenGL/Blending">https://learnopengl.com/#!Advanced-OpenGL/Blending</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>But again why only some faces are behaving like that, why not all? This is something interesting!</div><div><br></div><div>Now, I will be adding the alpha blending similar to rgb, and locking color. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 7:39 PM, Darshan kadu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:darsh7807@gmail.com" target="_blank">darsh7807@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hello, Mr. Howard, <div dir="auto">Sorry, I was ill from yesterday afternoon.

You may find this useful. If you put this in, say, the release/scripts/startup folder then you can use the <Space>-menu to search for 'Dump Vertex Colors'. To see which faces and vertices correspond to which dumped colors, you can start blender with --debug and then enable the 'indices' visualization box in the right-hand panel of view3d (when in Edit mode) to see the indices of the currently selected elements.</div><div><br></div><div>I think there may be a problem with the ply exporter, discovered by using this. I made a simple plane quad and put different colors and alphas on each, and then the ply exporter seemed to have an off-by-one error in lining up colors with vertices. But I looked briefly at the code and didn't see what was wrong.</div><div><br></div><div>I also checked the interpolation of alpha's when subdividing and agree with you that it seems to be doing approximately the right thing, so the problem is somehow in the visualization code.</div></div></blockquote></div>
