GLSL and varying opacity Hi, i'm desperatly trying to animate the alpha of a GLSL's surface color. It doesn't seem to work and dev. examples do not help me (really): setting R or G or B value with a color patch connected to the GLSL patch has the expected effect (surface color is actually changing), however, modifying the alpha value doesn't work. I know i must be wrong, somewhere. Any GL guru around to have a look at my sample file ? thanxx a lot. |
You need to set the Blending mode of whatever mesh object you have inside your GLSL Shader patch to something other than the default 'Replace' mode (ie 'Over' 'Add' or if you have the latest GL Tools installed, 'Alpha').

oops, sorry, so stupid of me... i was brain-looping inside the GLSL patch... thanks again for re-teaching me the basics. i definetly need some rest.
I'm sure I've done the same thing myself. Actually, the whole transparency thing seems to be a bit of a minefield, what with Z-Fighting issues, and CIFilter weirdness.
