I want to render surfaces semitransparent to let other graphics underneath shimmer through. I did try to use the Prolog and Epilog to call the postscript operator setalpha, e.g., Prolog->PostScript["0.5 setalpha"] The results are more than strange. The notebook cursor disappears. For fully transparent, the surface is totally black. Are there other ways to achieve the desired result?
