I am making application on vLine.
I wonder is it possible to change the direction of movie.
Currently,the pitcure on my camera(small frame) is left-right side reversed like a mirror.
It is sometimes a bit confusing.
If we can also switch upside-down ,
it is very useful especially using outside camera.
NOTE: This answer assumes that you are not using the uiVideoPanel widget.
You can style the HTML element that is created as a result of calling MediaStream.createMediaElement() or MediaStream.createVideoElement() with CSS. By default, the local video will be mirrored and the remote video will not. You can see an example of this by making a call with the shell example.
You can apply a CSS transform to the HTML element to mirror the image or flip it upside down.
To mirror, you'd use transform: scaleX(-1) and to flip upside down you'd use transform: scaleY(-1). Also, you may need to add a vendor-specific prefix to transform, such as -webkit-transform.
For example, in the shell example you can add the following in the mediaSession:addRemoteStream handler:
// flip remote video upside-down
// 'stream' is the MediaStream
// 'elem' is the result from stream.CreateMediaElement()
if (stream.isRemote()) {
elem.css('transform', 'scaleY(-1)'); // Firefox
elem.css('-webkit-transform', 'scaleY(-1)'); // Chrome
}

I'm trying to apply a pixelation shader to my textures and I need it to be applied only once, after that I can reuse my shader generated images as textures over and over without having to calculate every single time.
so how do I take a few images -> apply a shader and render them only once every time the game loads -> and use them as my textures?
so far I've managed to find the shader to apply:
shader_type canvas_item;
uniform int amount = 40;
void fragment()
{
vec2 grid_uv = round(UV * float(amount)) / float(amount);
vec4 text = texture(TEXTURE, grid_uv);
COLOR = text;
}
but I have no idea how to render out the images using it
Shaders reside in the GPU, and their output goes to the screen. To save the image, the CPU would have to see the GPU output, and that does not happen… Usually. And since it does not go through the CPU, the performance is good. Usually. Well, at least it is better than if the CPU was doing it all the time.
Also, are you sure you don't want to get a pixel art look by other means? Such as removing filter from the texture, changing the stretch mode and working on a small resolution, and perhaps enable pixel snap? No? Watch How to make a silky smooth camera for pixelart games in Godot. Still No? Ok...
Anyway, for what you want, you are going to need a Viewport.
Viewport setup
What you will need is to create a Viewport. Don't forget to set its size. Also may want to set render_target_v_flip to true, this flips the image vertically. If you find the output image is upside down it is because you need to toggle render_target_v_flip.
Then place as child of the Viewport what you want to render.
Rendering
Next, you can read the texture form the Viewport, convert it to an image, and save it to a png. I'm doing this on a tool script attached to the Viewport, so I'll have a workaround to trigger the code from the inspector panel. My code looks like this:
tool
extends Viewport
export var save:bool setget do_save
func do_save(new_value) -> void:
var image := get_texture().get_data()
var error := image.save_png("res://output.png")
if error != OK:
push_error("failed to save output image.")
You can, of course, export a FILE path String to ease changing it in the inspector panel. Here I'm handing common edge cases:
tool
extends Viewport
export(String, FILE) var path:String
export var save:bool setget do_save
func do_save(_new_value) -> void:
var target_path := path.strip_edges()
var folder := target_path.get_base_dir()
var file_name := target_path.get_file()
var extension := target_path.get_extension()
if file_name == "":
push_error("empty file name.")
return
if not (Directory.new()).dir_exists(folder):
push_error("output folder does not exist.")
return
if extension != "png":
target_path += "png" if target_path.ends_with(".") else ".png"
var image := get_texture().get_data()
var error := image.save_png(target_path)
if error != OK:
push_error("failed to save output image.")
return
print("image saved to ", target_path)
Another option is to use ResourceSaver:
tool
extends Viewport
export var save:bool setget do_save
func do_save(new_value) -> void:
var image := get_texture().get_data()
var error := ResourceSaver.save("res://image.res", image)
if error != OK:
push_error("failed to save output image.")
This will only work from the Godot editor, and will only work for Godot, since you get a Godot resource file. Although I find interesting the idea of using Godot to generate images. I'm going to suggest going with ResourceSaver if you want to automate generating them for Godot.
About saving resources from tool scripts
In the examples above, I'm assuming you are saving to a resource path. This is because the intention is to use the output image as a resource in Godot. Using a resource path has a couple implications:
This might not work on an exported game (since the goals is improve the workflow, this is OK).
Godot would need to re-import the resource, but will not notice it changed.
We can deal with the second point from an EditorPlugin, if that is what you are doing, you can do this to tell Godot to scan for changes:
get_editor_interface().get_resource_filesystem().scan()
And if you are not, you can cheat by creating an empty EditorPlugin. The idea is to do this:
var ep = EditorPlugin.new()
ep.get_editor_interface().get_resource_filesystem().scan()
ep.free()
By the way, you will want to cache cache the EditorPlugin instead of making a new one each time. Or better yet, cache the EditorFileSystem you get from get_resource_filesystem.
Automation
Now, I'm aware that it can be cumbersome to have to place things inside the Viewport. It might be Ok for your workflow if you don't need to do it all the time.
But what about automating it? Well, regardless of the approach, you will need a tool script that makes a hidden Viewport, takes a Node, checks if it has a shader, if it does, it moves it temporarily to the Viewport, get the rendered texture (get_texture()) sets it as the texture of the Node, removes the shader, and returns the Node to its original position in the scene. Or instead of looking for a shader in the Node, always apply a shader to whatever Node, perhaps loaded as a resource instead of hard-coded.
Note: I believe you need to let an idle frame pass between adding the Node to the Viewport and getting the texture, so the texture updates. Or was it two idle frames? Well, if one does not work, try adding another one.
About making an EditorPlugin
As you know, you can create an addon from project settings. This will create an EditorPlugin script for you. There you can either add an option to the tools menu (with add_tool_menu_item), or add it to the tool bar of the editor (with add_control_to_container). And have it act on the current selection in the edited scene (you can either use get_selection, or overwrite the edit and handles methods). You may also want to make an undo entry for that, see get_undo_redo.
Or, alternatively you can have it keep track (or look for) the Nodes it has to act upon, and then work on the build virtual method, which runs when the project is about to run. I haven't worked with the build virtual method, so I don't know if it has any quirks to gotchas to be aware of.
I am trying to set a Sprite as a background in my viewport. The grid.png is 23040 x 9984 pixels.
this.app.loader
.add("grid", require("./assets/grid.png"))
.load((loader, resources) => {
const grid = new PIXI.Sprite(resources.grid.texture);
grid.anchor.set(0, 0);
grid.scale.set(1);
this.container.addChild(grid);
});
The Sprite shows in my Container but only in black. If I try with a smaller png (25 x 25 pixels) it works.
I also made sure my viewport world width and height were big enough :
this.viewport = new Viewport({
screenWidth: 953,
screenHeight: 409,
worldWidth: 25000,
worldHeight: 10000,
interaction: this.app.renderer.plugins.interaction
});
Here is the sandbox code
https://codesandbox.io/s/pixi-sprite-loading-cn7re?file=/src/App.vue:572-875
You see sprite as black (in chrome) because is too big and you add it using "require":
.add("grid", require("./assets/grid.png"))
this does basically following:
.add("grid", "data:image/png;base64,iVBORwA<MoreBase64StringHere>")
which is too much for browser when grid.png has such big dimensions.
You should add it by passing url to the image - instead of requiring whole inlined image:
.add({
name: "grid",
url: "grid-small.png",
crossOrigin: "anonymous"
})
Note that grid-small.png should be in "public" dir of codesandbox, and crossOrigin: "anonymous" is to avoid problems with cross-origin when image is loaded.
Such big images (especially if it consist basically many copies of same image) should be avoided. You should try using for example some small/medium chunk of the image (the mentioned grid-small.png) and TilingSprite technique. In such way you can easily have 25000 x 10000 grid - as you can see in codesandbox below.
You shouldnt keep Pixi objects inside Vue component state - i already told you in other post about it ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/62094101/3174731 ) - you are not listening ;) . Why do you want Vue to analyze Pixi objects? Is not its job. Vue should be about what is going on in DOM etc - not about whats in canvas. See codesandbox linked below how much faster everything is if you keep Pixi related objects outside of Vue component (myPixi variable).
You can see how above optimizations work in following codesandbox (modified version of yours) : https://codesandbox.io/s/pixi-sprite-loading-3vsne?file=/src/App.vue
I need to create speed gauge with SVG. As the speed changes, a needle is rotated to indicate the proper speed on the gauge, and an arc is drawn around the gauge's circumference following the tip of the needle.
I have attempted to use three different libraries (VelocityJS, SnapSVG, and GSAP) to solve issues with the needle's rotation, but I have not succeeded yet in finding an implementation that works.
My initial attempts were with Velocity. I got it working in all browsers except IE. In IE, all attempts to change transform-origin failed.
Then I tried both SnapSVG and GSAP, but two issues keep coming up:
The needle's rotation mostly works well, but occasionally it rotates in the wrong direction, under the gauge, no doubt following the shortest distance to the point.
In IE, stroke-dashoffset causes unpredictable results.
I have created a CodePen that shows the gauge's behaviour when driven by either of these three libraries.
Any help?
Snap version works fine for me, but I'm guessing the problem as mentioned is stroke-dashoffset which I can't test in IE.
One possibility if stroke-dashoffset is not possible, is to rebuild the path string each time. Uses a bit more resources, but I think may be ok.
Otherwise you could try drawing a mask or clip the same size as the arc over it, and animate that, but it will use more resources as well.
Here is a Snap solution, rebuilding the arc path each time.
Amended code...
var arc = Snap.select('#gauge-arc');
var arcLength = arc.getTotalLength();
var arcString = arc.attr('d');
arc.attr({ d: ''})
Snap.animate(0,arcLength, function( val ) {
var arcSubPath = Snap.path.getSubpath(arcString,0,val) ;
arc.attr({ d: arcSubPath });
}, 100, function() {
Snap.animate(arcLength,0, function( val ) {
var arcSubPath = Snap.path.getSubpath(arcString,0,val) ;
arc.attr({ d: arcSubPath });
},500);
})
},
Example fiddle (note, the other buttons probably won't work as I've removed the stroke-dashoffset in the svg markup).
When creating a SVG image you have to set width,height and position otherwise it will not be rendered.
How do I read them from the original image?
Using Dart I first load the html image and after it's loaded I get the size and then define the SVG image and use the info I got before. This is a bit cumbersome and I wondered if there is another way.
The dart code looks like this:
ImageElement img = new ImageElement(src:'2.jpg'); //401x600
img.onLoad.listen((e) {
svg.ImageElement image = new svg.ImageElement();
image.setAttribute('x', '0');
image.setAttribute('y', '0');
image.setAttribute('width', img.width.toString());
image.setAttribute('height', img.height.toString());
image.getNamespacedAttributes('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink')['href'] = '2.jpg';
});
There seems not to be a more convenient method (also not in JavaScript except when you use jQuery or another framework that includes methods for this).
Just create a method yourself and reuse that method for each image you load.
I tried to use createjs to create a movieClip and add an image inside it like this:
rect2 = new Bitmap(_preloader.getResult("rect").result);
mv = new MovieClip("single", 0, false, []);
mv.addChild(rect2);
_stage.addChild(mv);
I expect to see rect2 on stage, but it dose not show up, if I added rect2 to stage it will show up, so what's I am missing here?
Is there any reason you are using MovieClip? It is mainly used to handle export from Flash Pro using Toolkit for CreateJS.
Instead, you might try using a Bitmap instance, which wraps an image, canvas, or video element.
One note for MovieClips is that you need to gotoAndStop/gotoAndPlay in order to set the initial state, it does not "default" to the first frame like Flash.
