I'm creating textures using gl.sketch's @capture attribute and loading them onto planes made using gl.gridshape. The textures I am making are mostly blank with a few lines drawn on them. I need to layer a bunch of these textures on top of each other. Can I make the blank areas of the textures transparent and then render them onto transparent planes made using gl.gridshape? If not, what else can I do to achieve this effect?

put them on a videoplane and set blend_enable 1 with appropriate

blend_mode such as blend_mode 6 1 for additive blending.

Errr, are those blend arguments placed in my gl.sketch, gl.texture, or gl.videoplane?

Wes when does the layer numbering come in effect, don't you need it ?

Place them on the videoplane objects with your textures. Layer

numbering could be used to specify an exact ordering of the video

planes. You'll probably also want depth_enable 0 on the videoplanes.
