just a small thing occurred to me while playing with the 'image' component... shldnt it include blend modes as a part of it? i mean, sure, you can add a blend component right after and set them there, but it seems unnecessary in a number of instances to have to do this.

vlad,

i mean giving the 'image' component the 'modes' like the 'blend' component has. you could just then set the 'mode' within the 'image' component rather than having to add a 'blend' component right after it.

it's not a high priority or anything; just something i happened to think about and thought it might make a couple things a little easier here and there.

Blending is combining something with something.
Blending Image with something needs a second source.

What is the second source?

Blend with itself, like 2 images in one ? The image module has no input, so I'm lost too.

the blending would be with the image you import in the GUI. so, the image component would have the modes of lighten, darken, multiply and so on that could be set with a control component and would affect the imported image.

jffe, the image component has no node input, but it does have an input, an imported image.

You mean the resulting rendered image?
Or the original image you started with?

ok, i think i see where my error is on this. in a blend component you have a foreground and a background. the mode is blending these two against each other and you can do it even though there's only one original image. what you're saying is that in an image component there is nothing to blend against; you cant blend an imported image against itself. ok, i got it. just erase this thread to save me further embarrassment smile:)

I think that's exactly what he meant vlad, except to have that blending capability internally, built-in to the *image* module. I'm not sure what all that could be good for exactly. Do you have an example of how//where that would be used Kraellin ? If yer tired of this thread that's cool, I was just interested in why you would want that, and like how that would/could be benefical is all. smile:)
