Hi Spine,
Is there any documentation for setting custom shaders or filters for the Spine meshes? I have a need in my pixie game to set a custom Depth (Z) value. I can't see any documentation or tutorials regarding this. I tried setting the filter on the entire sprite itself, but it doesnt work, i think i need to set the filter on the individual meshes (WebGL, WebGPU) Themselves, thanks
For setting custom shaders or filters for Spine meshes in a pixi-spine environment, you would typically need to work with the WebGL or WebGPU context directly. Unfortunately, there isn't specific documentation from Esoteric Software for pixi-spine as it is maintained by a third party. However, you can apply custom shaders by modifying the shader code used by the Spine runtime. You might need to delve into the pixi-spine source code to understand how it handles shaders and then apply your custom shader logic accordingly. If you are looking to set a custom Depth (Z) value, you would likely need to modify the vertex shader to adjust the Z position of the vertices.
For more detailed guidance, you might want to explore the pixi-spine GitHub repository or reach out to the community there for specific examples and support.
Hello! Pixi filters work with spine-pixi-v8.
See the basic examples with an AsciiFilter.
I haven't tried yet to create a custom filter, but mimicking the existing filters, I guess you can achieve your desired result.
Ah yes it works, i think i was setting the uniforms wrong
Hmmm I managed to get the filter working for the entire Spine container, however how do we handle the case for custom shaders for individual parts?
For instance:
For this we would need to be able to set the shaders for the individual meshes instead of the whole container
Apologies for the delayed response; I've been away these past few days.
Currently, it’s not possible to modify the shader of individual attachments directly.
However, with a bit more effort, you can achieve the same effect by using a slot object, as demonstrated in the following example:
To do this, you can extract the individual texture and replace the corresponding attachment with a slot object. Since slot objects are standard Pixi elements, you can then easily apply a filter to them.
Davide I see, thanks.
