Hi friends,
My FengGUI's objects can't render before my JME's model objects. They are always behind!
FengGUI's objects are always in front of JME's objects like skybox, box… . However, they are always behind model objects like car model in lesson9.
P/S: I referenced FengGUI & JME integration tutorial and also use source code on these tutorials.
What game type are you using, StandardGame or SimpelGame, BaseGame?
How and where are you rendering FengGUI in a separate Gamestate or simply in the render method?
Also, are you calling root.updateRenderstate() after attaching your model to the node?
pManager.renderPasses(display.getRenderer());
display.getRenderer().clearZBuffer();
for(RenderState rs : display.getRenderer().defaultStateList)
rs.apply();
GL13.glActiveTexture(GL13.GL_TEXTURE0);
guidisp.display();
I tried again to use Trussell's code. But It's still to display as I was told.
Moreover, I'm implementing from GameState class.
make sure that th FengGUI GameState is the last you attach to the GamestateManager.
I use JMonkey & FengGUI objects in a GameState. The problem happens when JMonkey objects is set to QUEUE_OPAQUE.
For example, It's ok with FengGUI objects if I try to make a box without QUEUE_OPAQUE (like FengGUI&JMonkey tutorial).
Why do you want to Queue them to be Opaque? Queue them to be Ortho.
I think he has some transparent and some opaque objects in his scene.
I modified the wiki example, now one Box renders in the Transparent queue, and one in the Opaque.
I ran into similar problems as dinhnguyenquoc mentoned.
To make it work (more or less) i had to:
- add a Alphastate to the root node
without the AlphaState, the Opaque Box is rendered in front of FengGUI
- explicitly render the Transparent Box in the Transparent Queue and the Opaque in the opaque
- add a CullState, so the Backfaces are not rendered
But somehow FengGUI is now rendered transparent also, i didn’t manage to display FengGUI with a solid color. :x
Hi Core-Dump,
Have you ever try to test with Terrain object?
I get some problem with terrain & skybox object. They transparent each other.
In my project, there are Skybox, model objects (collada) need to set queue to opaque!
if you provide a small test case which shows off your problem, its easier to help
there are many things that can go wrong.
Hi Core-Dump,
Just add Skybox & terrain (set Queue to Opaque) into your tutorial http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=fenggui_jme_appl_using_standardgame to test! 
ok, i give up i can't make it work
stuff in the opaque or transparent queue are always rendered in front of fenggui it seems.
i guess its only possible to handle Fenggui nicely with a separate renderpass. :?
i know this problem we fixed it like coredump mentioned.it works with renderpasses
There we go finally.
Left with GameStates/GamestateManager, right with the same GameStates but wrapped in RenderPasses.
The wiki entry is updated with a renderpass example.
I made two simple RenderPass wrapper classes for GameState and BasicGameState, so you can use your existing GameStates (similar to the TestIsland set up)
That's great, Core-Dump!
My problem is left picture. You used a separate renderpass to make like right picture. So I greatly appreciate your help.
However, a minor problem I need to solve is about FengGUI. Can you make FengGUI objects are transparent?
P/S: Do you still remember a mention with Quad to render FengGUI objects. I used to apply that mention to make transparent FengGUI objects!
You can make the background color of the FengGUI containers transparent.
The main window and radio button panel have a alpha value of 0.3.
They add up, so the result alpha of the radiobutton panel is 0.6 (more or less).
window.getAppearance().add(new PlainBackground(new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.3f)));
buttons.getAppearance().add(new PlainBackground(new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.3f)));
Thanks Core-Dump,
You solved absolutely my problem!
Hi Core-Dump,
Could you add InputHandler object into IngameGameState?
And then, could you remove mouse (mouse symbol) on screen?
P/S: Even I tried remove FengJMEInputHandler, It still displays!
the example uses a FirstPersonController which works for me.
Sorry Core-Dump,
In your tutorial, do you see an input handler (mouse) still exist even if you don't use any input handler in FengGui.
I actually want to remove it!
