Crashing the GPU: GlowFilter

[mattstyles]

Hey,

So the GlowFilter seems to be crashing webGL, the CPU zips up to 100% (which normally isnt enough to hang the laptop) but it isnt until webGL actually craps out that the lappy is usable again.

var stage = new PIXI.Container()
var sprite = new PIXI.Sprite.fromImage( 'apple2.png' )
sprite.position.set( 0, 0 )

stage.addChild( sprite )

var glow = new PIXI.filters.GlowFilter( WIDTH, HEIGHT, 15, 2, 1, 0xFFFFFF, .5 )
stage.filters = [ glow ]

setInterval( () => {
  renderer.render( stage )
}, 1000 / 60 )

Mac OSX 10.11.1
GeForce GT 750M 2048MB or Intel Iris Pro 1536MB
Chrome Version 47.0.2526.73 (64-bit)

Only log is WebGL: CONTEXT_LOST_WEBGL: loseContext: context lost but I think thats after I've tabbed out of Chrome.

GlowFilter can't be used too.

@finscn - just ran into this problem.
If you look at the source code, it doesn't appear that the glowFilter uses the renderer width/height any more. I dropped out the first two arguments and the filter worked as expected.

Hi,

I am wanting to use the Glow Filter? Is this still an issue in the latest release?
https://github.com/pixijs/pixi-filters/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Thanks
Andrew

Well, it works on http://pixijs.github.io/pixi-filters/examples/

That's good, maybe this issue could be closed then?
