Hello, I am working with two copies of a molecule (moved relative to each other), each being a separate object. Cartoons in both are set to be transparent (cartoon_transparency=0.5), but after ray tracing there is no transparency (or shadows) between objects (first objects completely obscures the second), while transparency within an object works as expected.
Is this by design? I noticed that if I make a composite objects, transparency works, but one of the reasons I want separate objects is to have different cartoon transparencies in each molecule, which AFAIK cannot be achieved within a single object. My ultimate goal is to make an image, in which one molecule (shown as cartoon) is close to the camera and is highly transparent ~90%, while the other is a little further and is only slightly transparent (~10%). I thought I could do this with two objects, but since transparency does not seem to work I cannot see the second molecule through the first one after ray tracing. Interestingly before ray tracing, I can see through the first molecule (object), but that is gone after the tracing Any suggestions or workarounds?
