HWA Lens Object or Pixel shader?

[LazyCoder]

Is the Lens Object going to be updated to support HWA?

Or is somebody just going to write a pixel shader... thingy?

[xyzzy]

it'd be a good idea to have an HWA version of the lens object since it has options that would be harder to code into a shader (like importing images from an AO)

[LazyCoder]

But would you even need to import images?

Active object are already animated, and they can import images too!

[xyzzy]

actually using active object as an example probably wasn't the best idea... being able to import images from Overlay Redux sounds better

[LazyCoder]

Ah. Gotcha.

AFAIK you can't read from the underlying pixels from the pixel shaders right now, but when it happens I will have a look at it
