Subject: Re: [Papervision3D] DOF: Blur effects
Hi Dan,
that DOF example does use the effects layer approach.
It's been a while since I played around with it, so I had to remind
myself as to what I'd done...
I think ou could use the effects on a dynamic object with interactive
content.
The effects layers are much like typical Flash effects so they
shouldn't prevent other functionality.
I had a previous version of the DOF where the letters could be
dragged and dropped.
Anyway, the main part of the script is this:
// blur each object relative to z position
for (var c:uint = 1; c<msg.length+1; c++) {
var obj:DisplayObject3D =
planes["plane"+c];
var nm:String = obj.name;
// Remove effect
fxObj[nm].removeEffect(fxObj["fx"+nm]);
// Set blur amount based on sceneZ - z
distance from scene 0 point
var blurAmt:Number =
Math.round((Math.abs(obj.sceneZ)/50)/
blurInc)*blurInc;
fxObj["fx"+nm] =
AbstractEffect(fxObj[nm].addEffect(new
LayerEffect(new BlurFilter(blurAmt, blurAmt, 2))));
obj.renderLayer = fxObj[nm];
}
renderer.renderScene(scene, camera, viewport);
I'm sure it could be more elegantly put together, but you can see the
basic idea.
The loop refers to the planes which are all named in numerical order.
(I've stored them all in an Object because the getChildByName function
wouldn't work for me)
Blur is set using the sceneZ value.
The blurInc is just testing different increments for the blur effect.
Finally the effect is added to the plane.
Hope this helps.
I think there has been mention of plans to integrate effects into GW
but perhaps in a different way to the Effects Branch approach.
cheers, Geoff
