I am looking to have an alien in pixi fade out all pixelated-like when it has reached the center of the screen. I am very new to Pixi, and coding in general, and haven't had luck with JQuery communicating with Pixi. Is there a filter that I can use to make this creature fade out? I currently have the alien simply disappearing when he reaches the center of the screen per the below code, but that doesn't look cool.
 
	 
 
	function animate() {
 
	    spaceship.position.x += (target.x - spaceship.x) * 0.1; 
	    spaceship.position.y += (target.y - spaceship.y) * 0.1;
 
	  if (alien.position.x <= window.innerWidth/2) { 
	    alien.position.x += 2; 
	  }
 
	  if (alien.position.x === window.innerWidth/2) { 
	    alien.visible = false; 
	  }
 
	 
	  if(Math.abs(spaceship.x - target.x) < 1) { 
	        reset(); 
	    }
 
	 
	    renderer.render(stage);
 
	    requestAnimationFrame(animate); 
	} 
	 
 
	Please help.
