I’ve only just started researching this myself and wondered if it’s already on the roadmap somewhere, or someone has already had a crack at it?

From a previous example, using screen depth

..and a demo from Frima

It would seem it’s possible in Molehill.

Yes, it’s planned (even though I think it’s gaming’s most overused-to-the-point-of-vile-fugliness effect), but how and when will be a surprise (to myself, too) wink

But in any case, first priority is to get that beta done!

Cheers,
David

Yay! That’s great! Maybe you have some list of planned features?

Just wanted to bump this one up again, lest it be forgotten.
To me it’s the feature most conspicuous by it’s absence.

I know, I know, I should write and submit it, just haven’t got the skillz…

Replying as I’d also like to be notified when it is available…

I made a start here:

I can’t get it to work, but I think that’s because shifting the data around in AGAL is still pretty much a mystery to me.

The actual AGAL fragment tokens themselves though, I think I’ve translated properly, so I think someone who knows a bit more should be able to get it working. Fingers crossed!
