Is it possible to make it so that the backfaces that overlap on this mesh don't get darker?
index.php?t=getfile&id=8743&private=0

The texture itself isn't a solid color, more like a bunch of numbers and lines... but for some reason it gets darker when it is viewed through itself.

Is there a way to correct that?

No, it gets darker by design. That is how alpha-blending works...

Incorrect, use Emissive lighting only, and screen, not add.

Alpha blending does work that way though, and screen + emissive is a more expensive effect Razz

It's just a small boxy mesh that was modeled in RenX after a map I'm making. The red numbers and lines scrolling across are just the texture.

It's supposed to be a hologram of the map that it is in.
