Description

As a bit of background, or context.
What I'm hoping to achieve is a world/level where the physics is handled by voxel-engine but the visuals are actually just 2d painted sprites layered over transparent voxels/meashes.

The issue im comming up against seems similar to the issue mentioned in: Issue #34 but in my case the voxels behind the transparent voxel Are visible as well as the player meshes when walking behind the transparent voxel, BUT sprites rendered at the same position as the transparent voxel are being covered by the voxel.

example: http://christopherdebeer.com/sandbox/voxeljs/

Any ideas?

@shama or @vogonistic, @mbalho mentioned that you might have some insights, if you do, it would be much appreciated.
