fade object with alpha texture

[Flomotion]

I want to fade in some info panels that use a texture with alpha. But when I do the fade animation, the alpha from the texture is disabled. Only the object fades. Making it an ugly transition.

Can objects with transparent alpha texture be faded in/out?

 

thanks

Hello!

 

unfortunately alpha cannot be used for alpha testing AND alpha blending

 

So objects with transparent alpha used for alpha testing (like in your example) cannot have alpha blending enabled (like in your example )

 

BUT:) because Babylon.js is here to help, you can find a way to fix it: Instead of using alpha testing, you can just completely relying on alpha blending.

To do so, just use the same texture in diffuse AND opacity: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#WKOF5#1

 

Isn't it a great framework?

thanks for the answer. And yes, BabylonJS is a great framework!

 

You've solved that issue.

 

But now I still get some dark grey in the image. I think it's the specular. But not sure yet how to get rid of that.

set specularColor to black?

indeed.. as simple as that. Thanks!
