MDL - material/layer tags

Not open for further replies.
Hi everyone, I've checked a lot of @Vinz models and want to ask how to use material/layer flags like PriorityPlane/ConstantColor/SortPrimsFarZ/NoDepthTest/NoDepthSet? because, as you can see, he uses them quite often. I've already searched quite a lot of information about this, but I have not found any really clear and comprehensive answers. Also the documentation for ArtTools does not give a good explanation.
 
Replied on my profile; gonna post it here too.

Priority Planes dictate the order in which alpha materials are rendered. They don't affect solid materials.
No Depth Test causes alpha materials to display on top of everything else.
No clue about the others.
