>>>>a dark red (140/0/0) segment that is 70 % transparent is placed in front of another dark red seg. (same color). This second seg now is opaque. The color of the intersection should also now be dark red, but it is bright red. The two reds seem to be added rather then averaged out: 140 red + 140 red = 280 red. Peter, I have had a lot of similar problems with the renderer, some of them I was able to go around… My experience is that when you have a transparent object you have to pay *A LOT* of attention to AMBIANCE values of your transparent object… Value "0" is your best shot… If you want the objects behind a little brighter try "1" or "2"… Anything higher will give you the results you describe… I get excellent transparency from A:M… with the right settings of Mirror, Specularity and Regraction it can beat any renderer on the market… Good luck!
