How to configure "SceneCapture2D" and "Render Target" to take a scene picture from top?

Development Getting Started & Setup

I want to take a scene picture from top. but i have some problems.

The first problem is that my scene has a rectangular shape. And i only know the transform params (basically the scale).

floor
floor754×474 31 KB

I put a SceneCapture2D in the same location of the floor and i configured it like this.

camera orto1
camera orto1748×912 65 KB

if i am right, “ortho width” must be the biggest side distance of my scene in centimeters.

However i tried to use the scale instead because i was thinking maybe it is equivalent to meters or centimeters, but it does not works.

You can see the result in “Render Target” texture. The image size is bigger that the scene capture.

(i want a little image to put in the corner of the screen, i think 100x200 pixels could be ok).

¿Which is the way to do this properly?
Thank you so much!!

The render target Texture will receive what the camera sees and will be applied in all the extent of the texture (UV from 0 to 1) so if the proportion of the texture should be the same of your scene. if your scene is 2 x 3 then the proportion of your render target soulg be 2x3 so the texture dont look stretched . but in the case of a 2x3 ratio, make the texture 150x450 or 1500x4500 just improves the resolution and so the quality.

Is important the orientation of the camera because you can have the camera rotated 90 degrees and the projected picture will be applied in the wrong direction in the canvas (will be rotated and put the image 90 rotated…so you will see the image with bad proportion. will see the short axis in the long and vice versa).

I suggest you just place a regular camera in the scene so you can evaluate what you expect to see and also put a plane in the scene showing what is the camera capturing and viewing so you can be sure you have things in the right way)
