Portrait behind dialog problem

I am trying to recreate the starcraft briefing room and I'm using a dialog
with an image item to create the background image.
What I want to do next is to create 4 portraits (as it is in SC1 brf room), but the dialog is always on top of them.
When I remove the dialog the portraits are there.

I need a way to make the portraits show on top of the dialog or a new
way to create a background image.

Please help!

+rep for helpful suggestions

Code:
Dialog - Set (Last created dialog item) Render Priority to 511 for (All players)
This might be something for you.

Then you could just use
Code:
Dialog - Hide the background image of (Last created dialog)
and then make borders/background manually with dialog items.

Oh, and if i'm not wrong the last created dialog is always on top, so if you create the portraits, and then create the background the background will be on top.

I can't use the dialog background cause it messes up the image anyway.
I currently use dialog item for the background.

Code:
        Dialog - Create a Non-modal dialog of size (500, 400) at (0, 0) relative to Center of screen
        Variable - Set BrfDialog = (Last created dialog)
        Dialog - Set BrfDialog to be fullscreen true
        Dialog - Show BrfDialog for (All players)
        Dialog - Create an image for dialog BrfDialog with the dimensions ((BrfDialog width), (BrfDialog height)) anchored to Center with an offset of (0, 0) setting the tooltip to "" using the image BKImage as a Normal type with tiled set to false tint color White and blend mode Normal
        Dialog - Set BrfDialog to use Render To Texture channel 1
        Variable - Set BrfBk = (Last created dialog item)
        Dialog - Set BrfBk full dialog layout true for (All players)

Code:
        Portrait - Create a portrait sized (237, 360), at position (0, 0) relative to Center of screen,  and show model Odin (look from camera Default Portrait Camera and play its Default animation) (initially Visible) (Wait until loaded)
        Variable - Set BrfPortraits[0] = (Last created portrait)
        Portrait - Show BrfPortraits[0] for (All players) (Do force visible)
        Portrait - Set BrfPortraits[0] channel to 5

Then try this, it should work. It works for me atleast.
Code:
        Dialog - Create a Non-modal dialog of size (500, 400) at (0, 0) relative to Center of screen
        Variable - Set BrfDialog = (Last created dialog)
        Dialog - Set BrfDialog to be fullscreen true
        Dialog - Show BrfDialog for (All players)
        Dialog - Create an image for dialog BrfDialog with the dimensions ((BrfDialog width), (BrfDialog height)) anchored to Center with an offset of (0, 0) setting the tooltip to "" using the image BKImage as a Normal type with tiled set to false tint color White and blend mode Normal
        [COLOR="Red"][B]Dialog - Set (Last created dialog item) Render Priority to 1 for (All players)[/B][/COLOR]
        Dialog - Set BrfDialog to use Render To Texture channel 1
        Variable - Set BrfBk = (Last created dialog item)
        Dialog - Set BrfBk full dialog layout true for (All players)
Code:
        Portrait - Create a portrait sized (237, 360), at position (0, 0) relative to Center of screen,  and show model Odin (look from camera Default Portrait Camera and play its Default animation) (initially Visible) (Wait until loaded)
        [COLOR="red"][B]Dialog - Set (Last created dialog item) Render Priority to 513 for (All players)[/B][/COLOR]
        Variable - Set BrfPortraits[0] = (Last created portrait)
        Portrait - Show BrfPortraits[0] for (All players) (Do force visible)
        Portrait - Set BrfPortraits[0] channel to 5

EDIT: Oh, and what does the RTT Channels do?

I got no idea... I was just testing if this action will change a thing,,,

The only way to make the portrait visible is to apply some sort of
blending to the dialog image, but it doesn't look very good.

EDIT: BTW setting rendering priorities didn't work...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
