This may not be in the correct category. My apologies if it isn’t. I’m unsure where to put this.

I’m trying to make a virtual concert and I’m wanting to run everything for the screens on one widget. The widget is the size of two 16:9 screens stacked on top of each other.

The wall screen should have the top half of the widget, and the floor screen should have the bottom.

How would I go about doing this? The wall screen is cut perfectly, but I can’t get the floor screen to show only the bottom of the widget. I could hide the top of the widget behind the wall screen, but I’d prefer not to do that.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

You can ask containers to clip the content:

Thanks for the response, but I don’t think this answers my question fully. I’m just wanting to show only the bottom half of the widget on one surface, and the top half on another. I don’t want to clip the widget itself.

Are the surfaces different meshes or are you OK showing it on a single L-shaped mesh.

How familiar are you with retainer widgets?

They are different meshes, but it could work to make an L-shaped mesh.

I have not experimented with retainer widgets yet.

Just bumping to see if anyone has an idea of how I could do this? Is it maybe possible to put a widget on a material and I can crop with UV mapping?

Yes, with a retainer. Sorry, did not have enough time to answer in detail.

If you make an L-shape mesh, you probably wouldn’t need it anyway. Worth trying.

How would I go about doing this with a retainer or an L-shaped mesh? I’ve tried on my own but I’m having difficulty figuring it out.
