I am looking for a way to change one opengl scene to another but can't 

find a way of removing opengl content to make way for anything new. For 

example, I can easily xfade out old stuff with those gl objects that 

accept a [matrixout 1] message, but for those that don't, like 

jit.gl.gridshape or jit.gl.mesh, there doesn't seem to be a way.

with @blend_enable 1, fade the alpha color of the departing object to 0.

Caveat: This is sensitive to @depth_enable which is on by default...

Otherwise render to texture and crossfade two videoplanes, which is 

tricky, but there are some examples on the list that may be of

Otherwise render to texture and crossfade two videoplanes, which is  
tricky, but there are some examples on the list that may be of  
assistance.

I am trying to fade out jit.gl.nurbs, without using the 

matrixoutput/xfade option. As far as I can tell, the below patch should 

fade out the nurbs when the alpha color message is brought to 0.... but 

Any ideas why? And if not, does anyone have any other ideas how to fade 

out a jit.gl.nurbs scene from the renderer? Thanks! Robbie

Your pack color is wrong add one more 0. inside pack as shown inside  
the corrected patch



There problem is with pak. It should be "pak color 1. 1. 1. 1." which

will give 5 inlets. The first inlet will change "color," 2-4 will be

R, G, B values, and the last will be alpha. As of right now, you're

not sending any alpha values. (Patch below)
