Preview for Prefabs

Hi all,

I want to rendere a preview of my Prefab in the Inspector like the preview of a normal model.

So I have overridden the HasPreviewGUI (returns true) methode and the OnPreviewGUI.
But I don't know how to render the prefab now!

Can someone help me please...

EDIT:

I got this to work:

Code (CSharp):

1. private Camera cam;
2.         public override void OnPreviewGUI(Rect r, GUIStyle background) {
3.             base.OnPreviewGUI(r, background);
4.             if (cam == null) {
5.                 var camObj = new GameObject();
6.                 camObj.hideFlags = HideFlags.HideAndDontSave;
7.                 camObj.transform.position = new Vector3(0.5f, 2.0f, -5.0f);
8.                 camObj.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(19.0f, -5.0f, 0.0f);
9.                 cam = camObj.AddComponent<Camera>();
10.                 cam.fieldOfView = 19;
11.             }
12.  
13.             Handles.DrawCamera(r, cam, DrawCameraMode.TexturedWire);
14.         }

The problem:
It also renders it in the Game View... and renders the Game View...

Thx in advance.

 

Not 100% if i understand you correctly but previewing a gameobject / prefab can be done via a custom editor.
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Editor.OnPreviewGUI.html
You have to change the editor style to shometing other thern in the example or it will torw errors.
I would recommend EditorStyles.foldout for example

 

Look like Prefabs with more then one object behave differently then prefabs with only one object. Sorry for the misinterpretation of your question.

 

Ok I solved my main problem....
I want to draw icons for buttons in an editor window based on the preview actually...

But I did something wrong on creating the prefab, so it has no preview for that.

So the question is solved... I created a new prefab and I get now a preview!

Thx you anyway

 

Hello Spy-Shifty, I've just finished my own preview asset, maybe it will be useful for you: https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/powerful-preview.460157/.
Looks and behaves just like the native preview.
