Hinges, motors, spokes are way ugly (also a feature request)

Hinges, motors, and spokes have all been unaffected by these things since they were introduced.

  • Not affected by transparency
  • Not affected by global shadows
  • Not affected by dynamic lighting
  • Always appear on top of particles
    Also, not pictured
  • Not affected by reflectance
  • Not affected by materials
  • Not affected by meshes

This is quite the laundry list of bugs and I’m assuming there’s a reason none of them have ever been fixed. Frankly these things would be ugly even if they worked; could we get a property to disable them from appearing? A boolean property in the lighting that disables them would be nice.

hinges and motors are affected by transparency, but the threshhold is transparency of 1
