[solved] Dual camera with water

Troubleshooting effects

Hi,
I’m trying to make a world map-like secondary camera. The problem is that since I’m using water (which is a FilterPostProcessor), the secondary camera don’t see it. Here is my code:

[java]
public class WorldMapAppState extends SimpleAppState {

FilterPostProcessor fpp;

WorldMapAppState(FilterPostProcessor fpp){
    this.fpp=fpp;
}

@Override
public void initialize(AppStateManager sm, Application app) {
    super.initialize(sm, app);
    // Setup first full-window view
    cam.setViewPort(0f, 1f, 0f, 1f);
    cam.setLocation(new Vector3f(3.32f, 4.48f, 4.28f));
    cam.setRotation(new Quaternion(-0.07f, 0.92f, -0.25f, -0.27f));

// Setup second, smaller PiP view
Camera cam2 = cam.clone();
cam2.setViewPort(.4f, .6f, 0.8f, 1f);

    cam2.setLocation(new Vector3f(98.3518f, 2797.5417f, -51.294434f));
    cam2.setRotation(new Quaternion(0.48278663f, -0.5134845f, 0.5185406f, 0.48411405f));

    ViewPort viewPort2 = renderManager.createMainView("PiP", cam2);
    viewPort2.setClearFlags(true, true, true);
    viewPort2.attachScene(rootNode);
    //viewPort2.addProcessor(fpp);
}

}[/java]

If I uncomment the last line I don’t see the secondary camera… :frowning:

I don’t see any issue at first glance in the code.
Please test TestMultiViewsFilters jmonkeyengine/TestMultiViewsFilters.java at master · jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine · GitHub in the repo and see if it works for you.

If it does, there should be something you missed and the answer is in this test class

Thanks! I’ve found it: I needed to use a different FilterPostProcessor for each ViewPort. I can’t just recycle it. :slight_smile:
