Video Texture (bge.texture) =========================== ***** Intro ***** The bge.texture module allows you to manipulate textures during the game. Several sources for texture are possible: video files, image files, video capture, memory buffer, camera render or a mix of that. The video and image files can be loaded from the internet using an URL instead of a file name. In addition, you can apply filters on the images before sending them to the GPU, allowing video effect: blue screen, color band, gray, normal map. bge.texture uses FFmpeg to load images and videos. All the formats and codecs that FFmpeg supports are supported by this module, including but not limited to:: * AVI * Ogg * Xvid * Theora * dv1394 camera * video4linux capture card (this includes many webcams) * videoForWindows capture card (this includes many webcams) * JPG The principle is simple: first you identify a texture on an existing object using the :materialID: function, then you create a new texture with dynamic content and swap the two textures in the GPU. The GE is not aware of the substitution and continues to display the object as always, except that you are now in control of the texture. When the texture object is deleted, the new texture is deleted and the old texture restored. .. module:: bge.texture .. literalinclude:: ../examples/bge.texture.py :language: rest :lines: 2-4 .. literalinclude:: ../examples/bge.texture.py :lines: 6- .. literalinclude:: ../examples/bge.texture.1.py :language: rest :lines: 2-6 .. literalinclude:: ../examples/bge.texture.1.py :lines: 8- .. class:: VideoFFmpeg(file [, capture=-1, rate=25.0, width=0, height=0]) FFmpeg video source .. attribute:: status video status .. attribute:: range replay range .. attribute:: repeat repeat count, -1 for infinite repeat :type: int .. attribute:: framerate frame rate :type: float .. attribute:: valid Tells if an image is available :type: bool .. attribute:: image image data .. attribute:: size image size .. attribute:: scale fast scale of image (near neighbour) .. attribute:: flip flip image vertically .. attribute:: filter pixel filter .. attribute:: preseek number of frames of preseek :type: int .. attribute:: deinterlace deinterlace image :type: bool .. method:: play() Play (restart) video .. method:: pause() pause video .. method:: stop() stop video (play will replay it from start) .. method:: refresh() Refresh video -

You can use the characters R, G, B for the 3 color channels, A for the alpha channel, 0 to force a fixed 0 color channel and 1 to force a fixed 255 color channel. Example: "BGR" will return 3 bytes per pixel with the Blue, Green and Red channels in that order. "RGB1" will return 4 bytes per pixel with the Red, Green, Blue channels in that order and the alpha channel forced to 255. The default mode is "RGBA". :type mode: string :rtype: :class:`~bgl.buffer` :return: A object representing the image as one dimensional array of bytes of size (pixel_size*width*height), line by line starting from the bottom of the image. The pixel size and format is determined by the mode parameter. .. function:: materialID(object,name) Returns a numeric value that can be used in :class:`Texture` to create a dynamic texture. The value corresponds to an internal material number that uses the texture identified by name. name is a string representing a texture name with IM prefix if you want to identify the texture directly. This method works for basic tex face and for material, provided the material has a texture channel using that particular texture in first position of the texture stack. name can also have MA prefix if you want to identify the texture by material. In that case the material must have a texture channel in first position. If the object has no material that matches name, it generates a runtime error. Use try/except to catch the exception. Ex: bge.texture.materialID(obj, 'IMvideo.png') :arg object: the game object that uses the texture you want to make dynamic :type object: game object :arg name: name of the texture/material you want to make dynamic. :type name: string :rtype: integer .. function:: setLogFile(filename) Sets the name of a text file in which runtime error messages will be written, in addition to the printing of the messages on the Python console. Only the runtime errors specific to the VideoTexture module are written in that file, ordinary runtime time errors are not written. :arg filename: name of error log file :type filename: string :rtype: integer
