Camera render to both target texture and monitor

Hi there,

is there any way how to force Camera to render to target texture and the same also to monitor?

any ideas ?

Many thanks.

 

If you have two cameras in the same spot - one render texture and the main - you can accomplish this.

 

Hi yes that's what I call workaround . I want to save performance so I'd like to use only one one camera.

Is that an option?

 

Yeah - it's a workaround many developers use successfully for many different reasons.
Do you know for a fact using multiple cameras would have a meaningful impact on performance?
@Eric5h5 commented on an old answer -
"There's overhead in having additional cameras, but it's minimal and unlikely to have any real effect on speed."

For me personally a workaround is something that gets the job done - I'm not able to say if using one camera is an option here. Please update with your findings.
Just remember - if (a workaround) accomplishes the goal successfully the end user doesn't care how it works - as long as it works.

 

Hi there, from where is a quote that it has minimal impact on performace?

Thanks

 

Really you should test it and find out for yourself

and improve your google-fu.

 

do not have a real problem with it at the moment .. therefore do not spend too much time looking for answers

 

But if the UI is in camera space, another camera will not render it even it's in the corresponding layer.

 

Have you found a solution for this problem? I am facing the same situation
