blending texture in relation to camera?

[Sorath]

you could use a simple depth shader ..that one which uses sampler info, setrange and multiply node..

or you can pipe a mib_texture_vector into a ramps z- coordinate and use it somehow in screenspace (just a thought) not sure if this works correctly in this case.

or you just use a texture projected ramp from top and parent it to the cam..

you could also render both passes if it renders fast and tweak with a z-depth in comp.

there are several other ways, ..if you're not that advanced in shading then i suggest using the texture projection workflow.

Here's a quick example using sorath's first suggestion.

Hi Bastian,

thx for your RE. I think I have now a solution....
I used a samplerInfo, reverse, setRange and a ramp

SamplerInfo.pointCameraZ -> reverse.inputX
reverse.outputX -> setRange.valueX
setRange.outValueX -> ramp.vCoord

works well for me :)

@david:
Can't see any example - did I miss somethink?


Thanks to you both!

Looks like I didnt attach it correctly :argh:
Oh well, what you just described is all that it was, except I connected the setRange out to the blender of a blendColors node so you could connect a different texture to each of the color inputs.

Sounds like you have it under control though.

Hi David,

well with a ramp I'm able to adjust the blending region and the smoothness of my border...
I think with blendcolor I'm not so comfortable to tweak this....

Again thank you for your time :)
