    hello folks,

    I'm reading the documentation/examples but still i cannot understand if is possible to create a 4 view (ala 4 players splitscreen) in Unity.

    I need that not for a game but to create a survelliance camera effect.

    But just the simple quad view it seems not possible to create. (just a fixed 4 camera views: front, side, top, 3d).

    Am I missing some info here?

    Thank guys!!!!!

    ps: I mean quad view into final rendered scene not in editor...i'm not such low level (just a bit above that XD) eheheheh

    You need 4 cameras, and 4 rendertextures. Assign each rendertexture to a camera. Create 4 materials, and assign each rendertexture to a material. Create 4 planes, and assign each material to one of the planes.

    Or use Camera Viewport Rect setting which allow you to output camera only to the part of the screen.
    So create 4 cameras and set 4 different viewports.

    Yeah, for straight squares view ports will be better then RenderTextures
