Returns:

the material used by this filter.

preFrame

protected void preFrame(float tpf)

Description copied from class: Filter

Override this method if you want to modify parameters according to tpf before the rendering of the frame. This is useful for animated filters Also it can be the place to render pre passes

Overrides:

preFrame in class Filter

Parameters:

tpf - the time used to render the previous frame

postQueue

protected void postQueue(RenderQueue queue)

Description copied from class: Filter

Override this method if you want to make a pre pass, before the actual rendering of the frame

Overrides:

postQueue in class Filter

Parameters:

queue - the RenderQueue

postFrame

protected void postFrame(RenderManager renderManager,
 ViewPort viewPort,
 FrameBuffer prevFilterBuffer,
 FrameBuffer sceneBuffer)

Description copied from class: Filter

Override this method if you want to make a pass just after the frame has been rendered and just before the filter rendering

Overrides:

postFrame in class Filter

Parameters:

renderManager - for rendering

viewPort - for rendering

prevFilterBuffer - the FrameBuffer of the previous filter

sceneBuffer - the FrameBuffer of the scene

initFilter

protected void initFilter(AssetManager manager,
 RenderManager renderManager,
 ViewPort vp,
 int w,
 int h)

Description copied from class: Filter

Initialization of filter subclasses. This method is called once when the filter is added to the FilterPostProcessor It should contain Material initializations and extra passes initialization

Specified by:

initFilter in class Filter

Parameters:

manager - the assetManager

renderManager - the renderManager

vp - the viewPort where this filter is rendered

w - the width of the filter

h - the height of the filter

getShadowZExtend

public float getShadowZExtend()

How far the shadows are rendered in the view

Returns:

shadowZExtend

See Also:

• setShadowZExtend(float zFar)

setShadowZExtend

public void setShadowZExtend(float zFar)

Set the distance from the eye where the shadows will be rendered default value is dynamically computed to the shadow casters/receivers union bound zFar, capped to view frustum far value.

Parameters:

zFar - the zFar values that override the computed one

setShadowZFadeLength

public void setShadowZFadeLength(float length)

Define the length over which the shadow will fade out when using a shadowZextend

Parameters:

length - the fade length in world units

getShadowZFadeLength

public float getShadowZFadeLength()

get the length over which the shadow will fade out when using a shadowZextend

Returns:

the fade length in world units

getShadowIntensity

public float getShadowIntensity()

returns the shadow intensity

Returns:

shadowIntensity

See Also:

• setShadowIntensity(float shadowIntensity)

setShadowIntensity

public final void setShadowIntensity(float shadowIntensity)

Set the shadowIntensity, the value should be between 0 and 1, a 0 value gives a bright and invisible shadow, a 1 value gives a pitch black shadow, default is 0.7

Parameters:

shadowIntensity - the darkness of the shadow

getEdgesThickness

public int getEdgesThickness()

returns the edges thickness

Returns:

edgesThickness

See Also:

• setEdgesThickness(int edgesThickness)

setEdgesThickness

public void setEdgesThickness(int edgesThickness)

Sets the shadow edge thickness. Default is 1. Setting it to lower values can help to reduce the jagged effect of the shadow edges.

Parameters:

edgesThickness - the edge thickness.

isFlushQueues

@Deprecated
public boolean isFlushQueues()

Deprecated.

does nothing and is kept only for backward compatibility.

isFlushQueues does nothing and is kept only for backward compatibility.

Returns:

false

setShadowCompareMode

public final void setShadowCompareMode(CompareMode compareMode)

Sets the shadow compare mode (see CompareMode for more info).

Parameters:

compareMode - the compare mode.

getShadowCompareMode

public CompareMode getShadowCompareMode()

Get the shadow compare mode.

Returns:

the shadow compare mode.

See Also:

• CompareMode

setEdgeFilteringMode

public final void setEdgeFilteringMode(EdgeFilteringMode filterMode)

Sets the filtering mode for shadow edges see EdgeFilteringMode for more info

Parameters:

filterMode - the filtering mode for shadow edges.

setRenderBackFacesShadows

public void setRenderBackFacesShadows(Boolean renderBackFacesShadows)

WARNING this parameter is defaulted to true for the shadow filter. Setting it to true, may produce edges artifacts on shadows.

Set to true if you want back faces shadows on geometries. Note that back faces shadows will be blended over dark lighten areas and may produce overly dark lighting.

Setting this parameter will override this parameter for ALL materials in the scene. This also will automatically adjust the face cull mode and the PolyOffset of the pre shadow pass. You can modify them by using getPreShadowForcedRenderState().

If you want to set it differently for each material in the scene you have to use the ShadowRenderer instead of the shadow filter.

Parameters:

renderBackFacesShadows - true if back faces shadows on geometries have to be rendered and false otherwise.

isRenderBackFacesShadows

public boolean isRenderBackFacesShadows()

Is this filter renders back faces shadows.

Returns:

true if this filter renders back faces shadows and false otherwise.

getPreShadowForcedRenderState

public RenderState getPreShadowForcedRenderState()

Get the pre-shadows pass render state. use it to adjust the RenderState parameters of the pre shadow pass. Note that this will be overridden if the preShadow technique in the material has a ForcedRenderState

Returns:

the pre shadow render state.

getEdgeFilteringMode

public EdgeFilteringMode getEdgeFilteringMode()

Get the edge filtering mode.

Returns:

the edge filtering mode.
