Issue with masking a render Texture

Cocos

JULY 18, 2024

Hello all, I have a shader that takes the alpha value of one texture and applies to a sprite frame. I prefer to go this way so that I can have a gradient fade to transparency… the mask component uses the stencil buffer and isn’t set up to use alpha blending and therefore cannot utilize the gradient of alpha values.

This beta includes a few big changes which may interest a lot of users: Animated sprites, both 2D and 3D, now support options for more precise timing of individual frames ( GH-65609 ). The illustration picture for this article is from The Mirror , an upcoming all-in-one game and game development platform currently in Closed Alpha.

I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The graphics backend rewrite took a while. However, the situation is now good. This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. Interactive elements will be placed using the in-game editor. So it’s RGBZ.

Making shaders more accessible

To explain the idea of how shaders work, let's consider a very simple shader for drawing a sprite to the screen. Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands. Multiply by 2. Substract (1, 1). 1 range for drawing).

Unity has already enabled us to easily accomplish a ton of milestones, such as rendering sprites on screen, and making objects move and collide with each other. In order to help the user keep track of the ball, we can add a Trail Renderer. Set the Color gradient so that it ramps the alpha down from 100 to 0.

This allows for simplifying some behaviors, such as using a Viewport directly as a texture in a Sprite, or creating button groups without a special control. Next months will be focused in closing the remaining renderer features and stabilizing Godot for an alpha release. Local resources. Fixed rotation angles. Seeing the code.
