Alpha problem with new viewer

I have a low prim Merry go round that I made 18 months ago.I have had one on my various properties since then.I know there has always been issues with alpha but it still used to look acceptable.With this new viewer it now is atrocious if they can't fix it I will be forced to withdraw it.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Mind posting an image? There's many things that can happen with alpha, most are fixable or have workarounds.

But no idea what you are seeing without a picture.

This is strange ,I logged off and tried the RC and it was ok.I logged back in and it seems to have cleared . What was happening was the inner alpha horses were showing infront of the outer now it seems ok.

It depends on the angle at which you view the object.

This happens when the center of an object is closer then another objects center. When alpha is used whichever object has the closest center is drawn on top.

This is not a problem with SL, but rather a limitation of computer rendering in general.

All games have this issue, however professionally made content for games is designed specifically to avoid it. That's why you don't see it in common games like Crysis or WoW for example.

Thanks for that ,I might make the inner smaller.But for now It seems fine.Cheers
