Transparent background Emscripten/WebGL canvas

Hi all,

I’d like to have a transparent background using Emscripten/WebGL as I’d like to display a video behind the scene (attempting some AR).

I’ve tried setting the clear color alpha value using some code I found on the forums, but to no avail.

I’m doing something like

   // Does *NOT* create a transparent canvas in Emscripten/WebGL
   RenderPath * rp = viewport->GetRenderPath();
   for ( int i = 0; i < rp->GetNumCommands(); i++ )
   {
      RenderPathCommand * cmd = rp->GetCommand( i );
      if ( cmd->type_ == RenderCommandType::CMD_CLEAR )
      {
         cmd->useFogColor_ = false;
         cmd->clearColor_ = Color(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f );
      }
   }

Thanks

OK I got it working by setting Module.preinitializedWebGLContext in my html code.

E.g. something like

Module.preinitializedWebGLContext = canvas.getContext('2d');

Where canvas is the canvas used by the Module.

Also edit your Forward.xml and ensure your clear command has the transparent value you want, e.g., color="0 0 0 0".
