True camera perspective

Hi,

Say I wanted to create a security camera feature that I could display several cameras, whist I do not have a problem actually doing that, what I am struggling with is the cameras perspective. Everything is backwards from a side to side aspect, up and down is no problem, so why are the scenes all shown flipped horizontally?



You can see a display with a render texture on it, linked to its camera shown in the center looking out from the screen. The simple objects in the scene, are flipped in comparison. If my character walks from left to right in front of the camera, the screen shows it walking in the opposite direction.

This cannot be normal and assumes that all cameras are looking at the same perspective as the players view. I have checked as much as I can (I'm no scripter or programmer) to see if this can be flipped, but cannot see any api's available to do this. I fully understand why the default camera setting must be this perspective, similarly, not all cameras and perspectives are equal.

 

I'm not sure I totally understand what's going on here but could your render texture object be simply rotated 180* / normals flipped?

 

Cool, thanks for the tip

 

That worked perfectly. It is understandable why the render would be flipped on the X axis as the camera has to render from a players perspective, not a mirrors perspective. Now I can proceed with installing security cameras that show correctly on the security camera monitors in the scene.
