Transparency example

[bennlich]

I'd love an example with a transparent object :)

Here's a gist based on the basic cube example where I try to make the red cube transparent (to no avail):

I think I just don't understand how to use alphaMaps properly. Using the transparent and opacity properties seems to work as expected. E.g.:

var redMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({
    color: 0x660000,
    transparent: true,
    opacity: 0.5
});

@bennlich yes, THREE requires transparent: true whenever you want to render things that aren't fully opaque. this enables it to skip depth testing behind opaque things.
