There’s a couple of different posts discussing how to do different screen transitions:

Screen fade using stencil buffers

I wanted to try improve my stencil buffer fades in my game, but thought it’d be easier/better to create a small demo/playground for this. This is nothing new under the sun, I just tried to gather the info from this forum post into a working example. Here is also a video to explain this further. HTML5 Demo (more demos) Source [image] Note that the actual fade screen textures are quite poor, I didn’t spend any time making them nice. If you produce some nice fade texture, feel free to share i…

Collection transitioning fade with sprite help

In order to do this both collection proxies need to be rendered simultaneoulsy, but differently to get different render targets or whatever is required. Current possibility to do this would be to differentiate by material, which blows up quite fast. A better way would be to include the difference in the render predicates or similar, and be able to filter the draw calls on it. This was discussed by @P…
