how to run filter one time?

[thekayaker33]

Hi,

I think when i set a filter on a sprite, it runs every frame? What if I only need to run the filter one time for performance purposes?

How do I run a filter only once and get an output from it?

I have tried this, but the output that it returns is just null;

var vfilter = new PIXI.filters.DotFilter();  
var filtersystem = new PIXI.systems.FilterSystem(app.renderer);
filtersystem.applyFilter(vfilter, nvGraphic, output);

Create a renderTarget and render the filtered object into that and then create a sprite that uses that renderTarget as texture. Using a cacheAsBitmap=true might also work, haven't used it with filters so not 100% certain.
