I have a few simple 3D polygons in the foreground moving being rendered in my 3D world using the jit.gl.render object. I want to use a 2D image as my background. Is this possible?

or, check out @automatic 0 mode, and use a jit.gl.videoplane. This is
nicer as you have better interpolation (prepend draw_pixels) has no
interpolation.

I’m hoping there is a simple answer for this question…

I’m using jit.gl.videoplane in conjunction with a custom vertex
shader (via jit.gl.shader)

my patch has two modes, one with shader enabled the other without.
I also have a simple ‘fade to black’ algorithm, using “color $1 $1
$1 $1″ command sent to jit.gl.videoplane.

fade works perfectly when the videoplane is not using the shader, but
for some reason with the shader enabled. the color command no longer
works. I’m wondering if there needs to be a hook in the shader to
pass through commands, or if maybe the color command needs to be
specifically accounted for.

any thoughts on how to get fade to black working with the shader is
appreciated (perhaps a work around?)

Unlike user-defined varying variables, the built-in varying variables
don’t have a strict one-to-one
correspondence between the vertex language and the fragment language.
Two sets are provided, one for each language. Their relationship is
described below. The following built-in varying variables are
available to write to in a vertex shader. A particular one should be
written to if any functionality in a corresponding fragment shader or
fixed pipeline uses it or state derived from it. Otherwise, behavior
is undefined.

varying vec4 gl_FrontColor;
varying vec4 gl_BackColor;
varying vec4 gl_FrontSecondaryColor;
varying vec4 gl_BackSecondaryColor;
varying vec4 gl_TexCoord[]; // at most will be gl_MaxTextureCoords
varying float gl_FogFragCoord;

For gl_FogFragCoord, the value written will be used as the “c” value
on page 160 of the OpenGL 1.4 Specification by the fixed functionality
pipeline. For example, if the z-coordinate of the fragment in eye
space is desired as “c”, then that’ s what the vertex shader should
write into gl_FogFragCoord. As with all arrays, indices used to
subscript gl_TexCoord must either be an integral constant expressions,
or this array must be re-declared by the shader with a size. The size
can be at most gl_MaxTextureCoords. Using indexes close to 0 may aid
the implementation in preserving varying resources. The following
varying variables are available to read from in a fragment shader. The
gl_Color and gl_SecondaryColor names are the same names as attributes
passed to the vertex shader. However, there is no name conflict,
because attributes are visible only in vertex shaders and the
following are only visible in a fragment shader.

varying vec4 gl_Color;
varying vec4 gl_SecondaryColor;
varying vec4 gl_TexCoord[]; // at most will be gl_MaxTextureCoords
varying float gl_FogFragCoord;

The values in gl_Color and gl_SecondaryColor will be derived
automatically by the system from
gl_FrontColor, gl_BackColor, gl_FrontSecondaryColor, and
gl_BackSecondaryColor based on which face is visible.
