Could someone with Blitz3dsdk please test this program and let me know if they experience the following.
For some reason the masking doesn't work for me when
a) the plane is invisible
b) the plane is visible and the camera is below 0 on the Y axis
Import blitz3d.blitz3dsdk
bbBeginBlitz3D()
bbGraphics3D(1024, 768)
SeedRnd MilliSecs()
camera = bbCreateCamera()
bbCameraClsColor Camera, 150, 150, 250
bbPositionEntity(Camera, 0, 0, 0, 1)
plane= bbCreatePlane()'
bbEntityColor plane,0,200,0
bbMoveEntity plane,0,1,0
bbAmbientLight 200, 200, 200
Light = bbCreateLight()
bbMoveEntity Light, 100, 100, 100
tex = bbLoadTexture("media\maps\singlemountains01_terraintex.png",1+4)'insert your mask texture here.
