Alpha Map in Video

[PixelPush]

I'm trying to use a video to set the alpha information on a standard material. The video displays fine(passed into the diffuse) but can't figure out how to pass this into the alpha with correct results.

My code..

Ref: http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/materials

scene.seaPlane = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateGround("ground1", 36,36, 2, scene);
          

var mat = new BABYLON.StandardMaterial("mat", scene);
var videoTexture = new BABYLON.VideoTexture("video", ["textures/waterRing.mp4"], scene, true, true);
mat.diffuseTexture = videoTexture;

mat.diffuseTexture.hasAlpha = true;
mat.useAlphaFromDiffuseTexture = true;
                      
scene.seaPlane.material = mat;
 videoTexture.video.play();

 

There is no explicit alpha channel in my video file, so perhaps this is where I'm going wrong? Maybe it's better to render the video out as a sequence of pngs

Thanks,

Hello!

You can try to set your video in the opacityTexture and set mat.opacityTexture.getAlphaFromRGB = true
