[away3d] Re: Render Layer Support

Hey William,

If you set ownCanvas = true to any 3d object, it will be rendered in its own
Sprite container. Once this is done you can apply any effects/filters to it
as if it was a normal sprite. Furthermore, you can use an ObjectContainer3D
to place other objects within it, set ownCanvas = true for the container and
apply a filter to all, for instance:

var container:ObjectContainer3D = new ObjectContainer3D();
scene.addChild(container);

var obj1:Cube = new Cube();
obj1.x = 1000;
container.addChild(obj1);

var obj2:Sphere = new Sphere();
obj2.x = -1000;
container.addChild(obj2);

container.ownCanvas = true;
container.filters = [new BlurFilter()];

Haven't tested it, but it should work...
Hope it helps, and welcome to Away =)
