How do I do a 3D object be always on top? Software: Away3D 4.x

HowlingBard, Newbie Posted: 11 November 2011 06:26 PM Total Posts: 20 Hi, everybody! I’m working on a trident made of segments and wiredframecubes. I’m having problems to display this object always on top. Can anyone help me?

Within the Stage3D (i.e. within Away3d 4.0), z sorting is handled automatically by the GPU, so currently there’s no way to override z-order to make an object appear infront, if it is further from the camera. If you describe a little more about your problem, maybe there’s a work around. Cheers

I would try unprojecting the 3D coordinates and have them in ordinary Flash, in a layer on top of you 3D window. Then they will be nice pretty lines.
