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.

Original: [link] Author: BitByBit Outer Stroke Effect for 2D Sprites Continuing from the previous article Inner Stroke Effect for 2D Sprites Introduction In the last article, we introduced the method of inner stroke and also discussed its pros and cons. aExtend is the expanded Alpha. Here, we take the opposite approach.

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.

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).
