But don't you have to switch the rendering off and on again for the new rendering order to get effect? What was in my mind is that say both of the cubes are in a global rotation so that sometimes A is in front and other times B is in front.

So there is no way to do this in openGL?

If you are directly feeding in matrix transform info using translate then it would be possible to change render order on the fly to do front to back rendering.

you don't have to turn off+on the rendering engine to make the rendering order take effect. it works on the fly.

so for simple objects this should work (see help-file 02/14). for complex (concave) objects, you are out of luck
