m working on a undergraduate project that is diffraction through a prism,im having difficulty in creating glass or transparent effect for the prism…please can some one help me to create transparent effect…
if i use this functions
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(0.1,GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glDisable(GL_BLEND);
prism will get disappeared…so can some help regarding this…
here is source code for drawing the prism…
please help me in creating transparent effect.
