Translucent material problem

[Haxor]

Hi,
Learning how to texture, and i came out with this problem. Texture for the windshield is the same one as for the wipers, so i used Translucent material with windshield masked out, but this caused some rendering errors (wipers shoud be above the windshield frame).

Is this a common problem ? I heard there are some problems with translucent materials. If yes what should i do differently ?

Thanks.

Yes, that is a common issue with 3d graphics in general. What you want is that your windshield and wipers have different materials. One translucent for the windshield and one opaque for the wipers.
