Camera on to Texture?

Hello,

I am making a game that is based on a mental hospital, you are the person in charge of watching the cameras to make sure the people inside the hospital are safe.

Picture of TVs for Cameras: (Prototype)



I am trying to make the view output of each camera on to each of the boxes (6)

Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

 

Hi,

Check out rendertextures,
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-RenderTexture.html

 

Hello

I think you misunderstood me, I am asking if there was a way I could drag and
drop the camera on to the game object and make the game object texture the camera render.

How do I do that?

 

yes, there is instructions for that in the render texture page:

Example
A very quick way to make a live arena-camera in your game:

1. Create a new Render Texture asset using Assets->Create->Render Texture.
2. Create a new Camera using GameObject > Create General > Camera.
3. Assign the Render Texture to the Target Texture of the new Camera.
4. Create a wide, tall and thin box
5. Drag the Render Texture onto it to create a Material that uses the render texture.
6. Enter Play Mode, and observe that the box’s texture is updated in real-time based on the new Camera’s output.

result is like here:

Thank you so much for the instructions!

I never knew it was that easy!

Now, time to save the scene and move on!
