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?

Thanks,
        Miro
