DCTL of Alpha Multiply Tool

PostTue Jan 04, 2022 2:10 am

Hi. Hoping someone can help me out with what is likely a very simple DCTL. I am just looking to re-create the AlphaMultiply Tool. I can do this in about 2 seconds using the CustomTool

...but I'm not sure how to do make it work in a DCTL. I am looking to learn DCTL coding this year, but haven't gotten there yet. Any help is much appreciated!

You should definitely post this question here:

https://www.steakunderwater.com/wesuckl ... um.php?f=6

there are quite a couple of DCTL developers active over there (they also overlap with this forum, but the one I linked to has dedicated sections for various topics, so your question has a better chance of being picked up there)

David (LearnNowFX) actually made an alpha divide dctl when I posted a bug report about it. All you would need to change is the division to a multiplication.

Thanks, Sander. I posted on We Suck Less, and got an answer almost immediately!

Cheers.

Did this turn out to actually be possible? I thought DCTLs had no visibility into the alpha channel.
