Hello !

I would like to access the image (render target) memory buffer of the cameras of the various players and save the image from let’s say GameMode’s Tick method. What is the simplest way to do it ? Could somebody please give me a code fragment ?

Example: I have a player in the level which has a camera fixed to it. I want to access the image of that camera in every Tick.  
Thanks in advance,  
G

Thanks for your help ! However what is not clear in these tutorials that they always mix C++ and blueprint and the architecture is not completely clear. For example in the C++ code it is not visible where and ow the RenderTarget is set to the SceneCapture2D actor…

Is there a C++ only way to achieve this ?
