Color Key Material (Filter Background Color)

The ChromaKey material adds a background color filtering feature on top of the Video Video material, supporting the following properties of the basic video material UV:

PropertyTypeDescription
baseMapVideoTextureVideo texture
baseColorColorBase color
rectClipVector4clipping offset

In addition, ChromaKeyMaterial also provides background color filtering function:

PropertyDescription
keyColorbackground key color
colorCutoffhollowing intensity
colorFeatheringcolor feathering coefficient
maskFeatheringedge feathering coefficient
sharpeningedge sharpening coefficient
despoilenvironmental light attenuation coefficient
despoilLuminanceAddfill light intensity after weakening

Usage

ts
import {ChromaKeyMaterial, VideoTexture} from '@orillusion/media-extention'

// create video texture
let videoTexture = new VideoTexture();
await videoTexture.load('path/to/video')
// create video material
let mat = new ChromaKeyMaterial();
mat.baseMap = videoTexture;
// set green filtering
mat.keyColor = new Color(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
mat.colorCutoff = 0.2
