create_chimera() [2/2]

MAYAFLUX_API Kriya::ChimeraBuilder MayaFlux::create_chimera

(

std::shared_ptr< Buffers::TextureArrayBuffer >

buffer

)

Begin assembling the layers of a TextureArrayBuffer from what feeds each.

A layer holds a still image or file, a GPU image copied every frame, or a moment of a ring that is being recorded, read at a lag or played freely. start() begins feeding on the frame clock. Keep the resulting Chimera alive for as long as it should run.

auto chimera = MayaFlux::create_chimera(array)
                   .layer().from("res/eye.png").params({ 0.3F, 0.4F, 0.2F, 0.F })
                   .layer().from(ring).lag(0.5).smooth().level(0.6)
                   .start();

The builder comes with a pipeline made from the engine's managers. Reach it with get_pipeline(), replace it with use_pipeline(), or record into it with record() and read its stream with from_pipeline().

Parameters

buffer

Array buffer whose layers are fed.

Returns

Builder. A null buffer makes start() return an empty Chimera.
