transparent depth based

[JamesCG]

Steve,

My first thought was that you could simply tie in the transparency of the objects to an expression that measures the distance from the camera to objects. You would be looking at each object having it's own unique shader possibly, but it would allow you to make objects transparency to change as the camera get's closer or further away.

a scalar state node using the ray length, connected to another node's transparency, will get you 99% there. A change range node inbetween might (most likely will) be needed.

as u said but, how know the objects ?

If you have access to the BA shaderpack, there's a raylenght-like shader in it that does allow to specify the range.. so the change range can be skipped.

Still: It's always good to stick with factory supplies :)

thanks for all the tips....i'll try them all out.
