I put a vid of my new project on youtube, but I didn't feel like posting here, but I changed my mind...

VID:

You mention transparency, and I just have to say that it'll be a bitch. Seeing as you can't use builtin alpha (because you're doing depth buffering), you'll have to come up with something else for your glass-ish effects.

I know, its gonna be a bitch, but I'm sure I'll get it

You're not forced into drawing everything into the z-buffer all the time.

For the transparent faces, just turn z-buffering off and render the transparent faces back to front. Thats all.

I should have been more specific...

You should test against the Z-Buffer, but not write to it in the transparency pass. So Z-writes should be off.

yeah I'm pretty sure I know what you mean
