Screen fade/motion blur effect

[julien-moreau]

For antialiasing, I’ll add the fxaa post-process like the default rendering pipeline doe and will let you know

Asking @Deltakosh, because setting bloom not enabled by default may create a breaking change for other users. Do you think that is acceptable to disable bloom by default in the standard rendering pipeline ? 

[Guest]

Not a big deal and I agree, this would be better to have all options off by default

[julien-moreau]

Pull request created! https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/pull/5051

My next step is to provide a single post-process for object based motion blur

I'll let you know once done!

[Guest]

merged. Will be in next nightly

[QuintusHegie]

Great! I'll await the build. :-)

I use

https://preview.babylonjs.com/babylon.js

as Babylon.js library, so I will notice automatically as soon as above file is updated.

I've ordered the book from Julien as well... will probably receive it in print next week.

the file is updated

@QuintusHegie awesome! =D Anyway, it just speaks about the BabylonJS essential features, maybe you already know them well

Cool.

What are the default settings when not using a new StandardRenderingPipeline? Where can I find them?

If've now re-enabled Anti Aliassing on my own StandardRenderingPipeline for 1 camera but the default settings differ from all other camera's that I've created without attaching my own StandardRenderingPipeline.

this.pipeline.fxaaEnabled = true;

E.g. the anti-alias quality is way lower when setting a pipeline.

Maybe not every effect should be turned off when creating a new StandardRenderingPipeline but only the extra effects that aren't used/set when one creates a default playground scene.

I prefer having people check what is possible instead of having them wonder what is on and off

What do you mean by "default settings when not using a new StandardRenderingPipeline" ? By default now everything is  off (https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/src/PostProcess/RenderPipeline/Pipelines/babylon.standardRenderingPipeline.ts#L245)

I can understand the confusion between default settings (when creating StandardRenderingPipeline) and default settings (when not doing anything with StandardRenderingPipeline)?

I'm trying to recreate the default anti-alias settings of https://playground.babylonjs.com (and any other effects) when I apply a newly instanced and further unconfigured StandardRenderingPipeline to a camera.

Apparantly tby the change in visually rendered image the settings for FxaaPostProcess in

babylon.standardRenderingPipeline.ts

line 545 (when enabling fxaa) differ from the above standard playground (and thus standard scene), which doesn't have an unconfigured StandardRenderingPipeline explicitely set in code.

So I want to stack specific effects on the current effects already present in any camera pipeline, instead of having all effects removed and rebuilding from scratch (because in the latter case I need to know about what current feature was already on and with what setting, instead of focusing on the specific added effect).

Adding @Luaacro again to make sure the StdRenderingPipeline is neutral by default

[julien-moreau]

Just found the issue, fixing right now!

Sorry for that problem, I just forgot to disable a post-process by default

Received the book BabylonJs Essentials yesterday. Although some parts I already knew because I'm developing in BabylonJs already, no problem. There were still parts that I didn't know or didn't come about yet... so still useful. Plus the paperback book looks nice on my night cabinet. It's real 3D you know, real paper texture ?

Hey @QuintusHegie we added Motion Blur post-process which is now object based  https://doc.babylonjs.com/how_to/using_motionblurpostprocess

Note: this will work only with WebGL2 or WebGL1 with multiple render targets extension available

Ah yes, wonderful. Much better than the full-screen motionblur!

A blur setting of 1 seems enough to create the 'train in high motion' blur effect, when observing the train from a distance.

Question: How can I remove the BABYLON.GUI, created with BABYLON.GUI.AdvancedDynamicTexture.CreateFullscreenUI, from the MotionBlurPostProcess?

E.g. the train speed-o-meter, the upper-left mission objectives and the right menu-buttons show unwanted motion blur artifacts. The 2D GUI I want to remain unaffected by 3D postprocessing...

Hum, can you try to set the 3D scene and GUI into different layerMask ?

[Guest]

As @Luaacro said, you can use multiple cameras with layer mask like here: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#Y3C0HQ#146
