(I know it’s because overfill) but can you expand a bit on what changing transparent and what alpha test is doing? It’s one of those things that people say and you do but it’s not until you’re neck deep in bespoke render pipelines that anyone explains why… As to mesh vs textures, it really depends…

(I know it’s because overfill) but can you expand a bit on what changing transparent and what alpha test is doing? Fill rate and overdraw is one part, but probably another is just as important — .transparent = true uses alpha blending, and it’s very sensitive to sort order. three.js can sort disc…
