Found this post on Reddit, decided to cross-post:

Found a paper on Weighted Blended Order-Independent Transparency https://www.jcgt.org/published/0002/02/09/ posted in 2013.

Turned out it was the key to 3D translucent billboard clouds where the order doesn't flip-flop. Think it turned out pretty cool!

What's your fill rate? Ordered or not, you hammer the same pixels over and over. Do you dial down on billboards for far away clouds?

But agree with you in any case, it did turn up pretty cool!
