Any Way To Blend Several Pictures (Textures) Together
Jul 4, 2009
I'm trying to blend a few textures together to "bake" the final texture. Since I need the actual resulting bitmap, I don't think I can/want to do this using DirectX or OpenGL. I have:
- 4 Textures (RGB, 2048x2048): t0, t1, t2, t3
- 3 Alphamaps (ARGB, the RGB value is irrelevant, 64x64): a1, a2, a3
Here's what I currently do for each pixel (in simplified notation):
FinalColor = ((t0 * (1 - a1) + t1 * a1) * (1 - a2) + t2 * a2) * (1 - a3) + t3 * a3
This works fine, however, it takes forever, because I have to iterate over a 2048x2048 image pixel by pixel. Is there a more elegant way to solve this (i.e. using graphics.drawimage or something like it, but then, how?) How can I scale to Alphamap up with bilinear/bicubic interpolation (without having to do it pixel by pixel)? I currently use the original resolution, but that leads to rather visible transitions.

SI like doing random things like 3D objects inside a windows form. With that said, I'm creating an application that will, eventually, write the code for me, after I do it myself visually.If you run the app it will make some more sense I guess.Now, to rotate the cubes, I'm using
.Transform.World = Matrix.RotationYawPitchRoll(CSng(CubeRx(1) / 10), CSng(-CubeRy(1) / 10), CSng(CubeRz(1) / 10))
now I do not want the world to rotate, just my individual cubes.Here's an example of me referring to my cube in action
If howmanycubes >= 1 Then
' vb2 = New VertexBuffer(GetType(CustomVertex.PositionNormalColored), 36, d, Usage.Dynamic And Usage.WriteOnly, CustomVertex.PositionColored.Format, Pool.Default)
[code]....
how to apply textures to the cube.instructions:When running the program, type in values on right side and click create cube.before you click create cube again, those same text boxes will adjust your current cube.Then when you click create new, it places another cube ontop of your current cube, so you'll need to give it new values.Not much validation is going on so some bad values will cause crashes.

I am making a TabControl with different textures and a sliding look. But I am having trouble with following points :-
1. How to make buttons click able at Design time, so as to switch to different tabPages [which are panels in this case]
2. How to add a property ex. TabPages() as Panel collection Editor [like TabPages Collection editor in case of TabControl]
I tried,
Public ReadOnly Property TabPages() As List(Of Panel)
Get
TabPages = p
ref()
End Get
End Property
Where p is another List of panel and ref() checks new addition of control in p -> adds it to UserControl.
3. How to get the upper-right corner arrow to quickly add a tab in Design mode.

I am running into the strangest problem that I just can't place my finger on. I've been developing an application in VB.net for the last couple months in Windows 7. The program involves some basic OpenGL drawing and animation with basic shapes (squares and circles) and basic textures mapped onto pointlists. The time has come to distribute the program to another machine. On some machines though, I encounter problems when I'm drawing textures. I know that openGL is still functional because drawing basic squares and circles still occur, the textured objects are the only things missing.

All I am trying to do is get my dumb button I created in Blend 4 work on a _Click event. I have the C# equivalent code, but I can't get it converted correctly...Here are both codes...I am using VS2010 just in case you want to know..
C# Code
namespace TestButton1
{
public partial class MainWindow:Window
[Code].....
As soon as I can get this very first initialization down, I know I can get the rest of the events written fine.

Im using a black n white image of a human as my back ground and panels to display the same bits in color when the area is clicked. What isn't working for me is the panels are slightly overlapped and one will always be on top of the other. it is transparent so you can see the back ground, but not the panel underneath it when it has a picture in it.

I have a listbox that displays Shipment Items (custom class) that are formatted using a datatemplate (see below). There is a border element in the template (I am calling it a Gem) that displays which item is active (not selected) which will be the item to which products will be added.
template.png
There is a boolean property in the shipment class (Active) which is set in a click event handler for the Gem element. Normally the Gem is supposed to be dark as in the first image, then lit when active. I have a DataTrigger set up in the DataTemplate to handle the change in the color of the Gem.
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Active}" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="ActiveGem" Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
[code]....
The Gems do not return to their unlit state (which they never were in the first place). They only remain lit.

i would like to create a custom base class for some of my UserControls. Doing this in VS2008 is fine and compiles as expected, but when i edit the control in Blend 3 the base class in the blabla.g.vb is always changed back to System.Windows.Controls.UserControl.

I'm trying to do for a website. I've got a header banner that is 900px wide, and I want to display 4 random images across the banner. (I've got about 20 photos at this point, and I want the header to select from them.) I can get the code for the random selection, but what I'm looking for is a way to blend about 10 pixels near the overlap. If I have each picture exactly 225px wide, I get a "hard" line between the images. I'd like to make the images a little bit wider and soften the edge by overlapping and blending the images together. I have figured out how to get the image back to the web browser, but I don't even know where to start on trying to figure out the blending. Graphics really aren't my thing.

Previously I used to piddle around with VB6 to develop a couple of personal projects. Following my upgrade to Windows 7, I've decided to piddle about with vb.net Express Edition 2010.If I wanted my VB6 application to blend in with the visual style of Windows, I would use the code and techniques described here. In short, I would use a Manifest file and a couple of calls within the application and most of the elements would look similar to the XP theme applied. If it was run on 2000, 95 or 98 then it would look like a standard Windows app. All was good.
Now I've moved onto vb.net, I've written a simple "Hello, world" application but I have absolutely no idea on how to make it look like the Windows 7 theme (eg. the font matches the system font and the widgets are styled correctly).Just changing the font is a hack and will look out of place on machines that are set-up differently or run a different version of Windows where the default font is different.How do I ensure my application matches the applied Windows theme irrespective of the version of Windows?

I want to do is blend two images together with a varying amount of transparency using a scroll bar/trackbar. In software I can do it by drawing an image into a picture box and blending another image on top with a varying amount of transparency but it is using gdi which of course is very slow. I would have thought that it should be very easy with fairly basic modern graphics cards but I am so bogged down with examples of how to draw fancy rotating rectangles etc with direct x that I can't see through it all. Should I look at directdraw, direct3d, opengl?

I need to submit a project tomorrow, and the topic is WPF using XAML. We are using VB by the way. Now I am still a beginner at programming, so I needed help. I've got a ton of WPF and blend tutorials open in tabs in my browser, but I have no idea where to start, and no idea for a project. I asked my tutor and he said he'll be checking our understanding of XAML, and creating an object using XAML as well as the other way round.
I stumbled onto some tutorials of media players main in WPF, and I decided to go with it. But because I have never used blend or WPF along with XAML before, I don't know what to do, if say I make a button in blend with effects, so that I may add coding behind it in VB. Please help me out. I've got like 15 hours before I have to submit.

Includes alpha blending, pathfinding, grid rendering, and lots of other algorithms that make basic game programing in VB 2010 a lot simpler. Copy the code in the attached text document into a blank class. Then add it to your project. Initialize as you would any other class...
"Dim aGameGridOrWhatever as New DynamicBitmap"Let me know if anyone finds any bugs in the PathFinding algorithm. I finished it tonight. I'll post some examples of how to do stuff to this thread soon.

I am fairly new to vb.net and I was curious, I have experienced issues in the past of using .jpg files from my computer and it working fine, but then when I compile it and send it to another computer it doesn't work like intended and I assume it is because the file isn't on the other computer. My question is how do I prevent this? Is there an easy way of including all picture files I will be using.

so i have 101 pictures and i need to assign the pictures to an array so that i can do a for loop to generate them all.
so what i have is 101 pictures in my resources, and i have a array of 100 (Pictures(100)) and i was thinking if there is a default value to the resources so i can maybe do something like for i=0 to 100 pictures(i)=my.resource.i <--- assuming 1 is default value of the resource. folder but it isn't just saying

I have the flowing code set up to where I can insert a number into cells A1:J1 from a number that is from 1 to 10. I then have 10 pictures that correspond to a number from 1 to 10. So if I insert the number 1 into A1, the image associated with it shows up below it. That goes for all cells in the range A1:J1. Now my problem is that if I enter 1 in A1 then in cell C1 enter another 1 the image moves from below cell A1 to below C1. I want it to be like if I had all number ones from the range A1:J1 then the same picture would show up below all of those numbers.
