MixBrush() enhancement

Post by Allanon »

Hi Andreas,
It could be very handy to have a "blend_mode" parameter in the MixBrush() command to specify the mixing mode, with this mode we should be able to specify special effects like <Add> (normal mode), <Sub>, <Burn> and so on (some more details here).
It could be really great if in the future this blend mode could be implemented globally so all graphics command could adopt the directive.
Something like <SetBlendMode()> :D
Ofcourse with alpha channel support ;)

I don't know how much work is needed to implement these features but this could give another huge boost to this wonderful application :)

Ops... I've opened the thread in the wrong forum, I was referring to Hollywood and not to Designer... sorry :)

You can already blend graphics using the "Transparency" tag that is part of the standard draw tags. Only normal blending is supported at the moment, though. More blend modes might come in the future :)

"might comes in the future" sounds good :)
Unfortunatly the transparency param (for DisplayBrush) is only available if layers are enabled, but I'd like to blend brushes even with layers disabled, if possible :)

Sure, I thought it would already be possible in 4.8 but now I see that it's not in the 4.8 branch. Well, it'll be in the next version for sure :)
