making kind of layer effect
Oct 5th, 2009, 11:06am  
hey guys! i wanted to make a kind of loop graphics for a bar and i wanted to have in the background some generative random graphics and always above, i wanted to do something like having the bar's logo drawn with some perlin noise and shapes like i did here in the love series http://www.flickr.com/photos/brt-design/.

the problem is, if i mix the two they will overlap, and i wanted the "loveseries" type to kind of Float above as if we were talking about photoshop layers or something. Is this Possible

I assume both pieces are operating in 3d space, hence the overlap problem.  I could be totally wrong but can't you render output of the text process to an image rather than the screen and then overlay that onto the screen  I'm sure I've seen mention of that approach on the forums before...

not to an image but to PGraphics, you draw it offscreen and the simply put the Pgraphics like an image above the rest

My link goes to createImage() which "creates a new PImage"; but you're right I should have been more precise Wink
