Tk2dCamera Picture in Picture effect?
« on: October 05, 2015, 11:06:44 am »
I was wondering if it would be possible to create a so called picture-in-picture effect with the tk2dCamera?
I want to run a 'default' camera over my scene and I want to have a smaller TV-like square that follows a specific target within the scene.

It seems that I'm missing something? This can't be that hard right?

This effect:


I'm already using two tk2dCamera's in my scene (one for the HUD and one for the scene) because I need to zoom in and out with the scene camera, without the HUD being affected, which works like a charm. But I can't seem to set the third camera to a single square (it renders the whole sceen by default).

You can use the normalized viewport to clip output region.

Ah! Keeping the native and preview resolution in the same aspect (or the same) is the trick. I was trying to fix the square shape of the camera by tweaking these variables!

Thanks!
