Hello all,
Im trying to transition between 2 cameras using a plane, not too sure how to achieve that. The idea is to drag the screen left right, and depending on where I am, I will see a amount of camera 1 and/or 2.
I’m thinking about rendering to 2 textures (one for each camera) and rebuilding a final texture. But maybe there is something to do with stencils?
Any ideas?
thanks!
Hi @memleak,
Have you tried playing with the camera rect, gradually decreasing it for camera1 and increasing it for camera2?

Using rendering to texture would be the simplest. I’d probably render one side directly to framebuffer (the larger side - so swap this as the line moves), the other to texture and then put it on top.
The other option could be to replace a chunk of the standard material fragment shader to discard pixels on the “other side” - this way you’d render both sides to framebuffer, but set culling x coordinate as a fragment parameter to discard pixels.
I was thinking about that but I think viewports don’t clip, it’s effectively a resized window.
Good point, to be honest I haven’t tried it myself.
I think render to texture as @mvaligursky may be the best option, you can also potentially use a shader to make an effect upon the transition.
I was thinking of rendering to two textures and using the UI masking tool to clip one side?
I did see a project where you can drag one thing and the other so it is possible.
Thank you all for your input!
