[Interest] Qt3D Stencil example?

[Gil H]

Thanks very much for the example, Sean.  It’s much clearer now that I see RenderStates in use (for some reason I thought they only applied in Effect)…

There is a pretty serious issue that is blocking me from using Qt3D for augmented reality, which is that QtMultimedia’s VideoOutput doesn’t work when the window surface uses CoreProfile (tested on Mac).  This issue was given a low priority and is a year and a half old: https://u5810871.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=RgE1ASyOg54bH5KXOAIcDCNgCWqccrQ-2FpQuIrXIrfIJMy2TtuL9LVEN2mNDqCmUOgEyuwohNEwt6hzEhA36JiQ-3D-3D_wBwg3POqus3ycpk-2F0rxnkTh6GGX9m8uP6qHpajPv1FEqh6WFzqVsUSHUCdA-2BOqQYKo2R18TsAPAgMZjZ6A-2FM4U6WJnaOkGJxNWR4KicbxdQdC6786gVblgUviLccyhvIpdD-2BkA71HbGmYT5QFX2aFDmXO7E20GBfRlbnRM7NWG6ojJiCN5kpbQtvBboIHkFMI5Tsp1XKcf0z1BUkFrlLbHa-2BJlA8eQGlDKDhKJcwMKs-3D

    The render states work in exactly the same way as raw OpenGL states just 
    in an object oriented fashion. A nice page with a stencil example is:

    I've created the small attached example that demonstrates this for you. 
    It renders a torus shaped entity as a mask, followed by a simple cube as 
    the actual scene content. Left clicking on the cube toggles whether the 
    stencil buffers masks in or masks out the scene layer content. I've 
    briefly documented the MaskedForwardRenderer.qml frame graph for you.
    
    To control which entities are rendered in each phase of the frame, we 
    use a Layer and LayerFilter combination - don't forget to assign the 
    scene layer to your lights too.
    
    To improve the stencil writing pass, you could use a trivial shader 
    program that does the bare minimum of work rather than the phong 
    material I've used here for convenience.
    
    Hope this helps,
