Latest PatchBox developments
Added a couple of new features to PatchBox this evening. It now supports grouping of virtual screens, and masking layers.
In the image - which is an actual screen grab - you can see the four screens in the top right have been grouped and an image applied across them. On the bottom row, going from left to right:
- Coloured image with second texture applied that has both image and alpha data
- Coloured image with an alpha mask
- Alpha image with the image/alpha mask (alpha carries through)
- Shear transformed normal image with the image/alpha mask
Both the image and the mask can be animated, too. I just need to rewrite the depth manipulation code (so you can move screens in front or behind each other) and this iteration will be done. Not quite sure what the next step will be, but probably adding the virtual screen control functions to Lua so I can switch them via MIDI. Also would like to be able to switch groups of screens on and off.
