Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	fadeIn() fades the scene in (black to scene)
void	fadeOut() fades the scene out (scene to black)
float	getDuration() returns the duration of the effect
protected Material	getMaterial() Must return the material used for this filter.
float	getValue() return the current value of the fading can be used to check if fade is complete (eg value=1)
protected void	initFilter(AssetManager manager, RenderManager renderManager, ViewPort vp, int w, int h) Initialization of sub classes filters This method is called once when the filter is added to the FilterPostProcessor It should contain Material initializations and extra passes initialization
void	pause()
protected void	preFrame(float tpf) Override this method if you want to modify parameters according to tpf before the rendering of the frame.
void	read(JmeImporter im) Override this method if you want to load extra properties when the filter is loaded else only basic properties of the filter will be loaded This method should always begin by super.read(im);
void	setDuration(float duration) Sets the duration of the filter default is 1 second
void	setValue(float value) sets the fade value can be used to force complete black or compete scene
void	write(JmeExporter ex) Override this method if you want to save extra properties when the filter is saved else only basic properties of the filter will be saved This method should always begin by super.write(ex);
