The flames on this burning bed are using additive transparency to keep the colors "hot." 

See [[additive color model]].

== Subtractive Transparency ==

[[Image:Transparency$subtractiveT.gif]] [[Image:Transparency$xray_hand.gif]]

The x-rays on this light-table use subtractive transparency to make things under them darker, the way real x-rays do. The subtractive method isn't used all that often, so if you need it you should ask your programmer(s) if they can add it as a specific feature of the engine. 

See [[subtractive color model]].
