Outlines on png alpha image?

[haelbichalex]

Hi! So I am using a custom FBO source to render a background image and a PNG on top. Without ofxPiMapper everything looks fine, but now I have these weird outlines around my png. I tried using ofEnableAlphaBlending() in both custom source and ofApp.cpp without success. I also tried getting multisample antialiasing to work by using fbo->allocate(width, height, GL_RGBA, 4) in FboSource.cpp but then I only get a black screen. Any hints?

Hi! How big is the image and can you send me the file?

[haelbichalex]

It's 70KB small. It's a cutout of the background so it should blend perfectly in.

[kr15h]

I see. Can I have also the background?

[haelbichalex]

I just linked it in my previous answer 👍

[kr15h]

got it. will take a look.

Which platform are you using? As on Mac it fits perfectly.

[haelbichalex]

My destination platform is Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2015. I just tried it on my Mac as well, but I get those outlines there as well 😕 My custom source just looks like this, with '2.png' being the background:

#include "CustomSource.h"

void CustomSource::setup(){
    name = "Custom FBO Source";
    allocate(1920, 1080);

    img1.load("1.png");
    img2.load("2.png");
}

// Don't do any drawing here
void CustomSource::update(){
}

void CustomSource::draw(){
    img2.draw(0,0,1920,1080);
    img1.draw(0,0,1920,1080);
}

Ah you using custom source. Good. Now I have more hints.

[kr15h]

This was due the ofFbo using different ways of blending. I fixed that by adding the following to the SurfaceStack in ofxPiMapper code.

glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFuncSeparate(GL_ONE, GL_ZERO, GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

Check commit for more details.

So this did work on my Mac. Unfortunately on Windows the problem still exists.

[kr15h]

OK. Let's see...

[haelbichalex]

So does OF on Windows use another method for blending the fbo? I tried updating to the latest version of glew.

I'm working on my windows virtualbox. unfortunatelly the internet where I am now is very slow and I am packed with deadlines. Soon...
