Filters on Sprites used as masks

[Sharpleaf]

I'm adding a filter to sprite (generated by RenderTexture) to make the sprite solid black.

I've tried simply 

islandShape.tint = 0x000000

and I've tried

 

var makeBlack= new PIXI.filters.ColorMatrixFilter();makeBlack.brightness(0,false);islandShape.filters = [makeBlack];

I've tried applying both to the texture and to the sprite that uses the texture.

 

Now, if I add that sprite to a container just as a child (not a mask), then I see a nice, black shape (as I would expect and want).

However, if I add the sprite as a mask to a container and start adding other sprites to the container, it acts as if the tint or filter was never applied. The details of the original untinted (or unfiltered) sprite shine through. 

 

Is this expected behavior? Did I stumble upon a bug? Or, am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks!

Tint and filters are not applied to masks.

Filters are applied as the last rendering step. Masks are not rendered.

ok, so I would have to apply the tint to the container before I put it through RenderTexture to get a solid black version of it?

 

Thanks!
