    Hi folks,
    I am trying to render a camera view onto the new Canvas UI. I basically have a secondary camera for my map screen that only can see a certain layer. I have created a render texture and set it to my map camera texture target. I have also created a new material with the shader set as standard. I dragged the render texture on to Albedo in Main maps. I have then used this material on the image script within a panel UI object.

    But it is not displaying what the camera sees.

    What is the correct way to display what my secondary map camera sees on a UI Canvas?

    Any help would be great thanks!

    A `RawImage` component should be able to use the render texture.

    You don't even have to make a material (unless you need to reuse the exact same renderTexture multiple places). What I would do is create a new rawImage gameObject, and set the source to the renderTexture you've created. Also, make sure that your renderTexture's settings are properly set (otherwise it won't render the image with the correct resolution).
