How to hide sky box in render target?

I want to show a pawn on UI, so I added a scenecapture2d in the level, but there are so many things except pawn in the rendertarget ( sky box, water…), I don’t want to display these things. How to hide these things?

You could set the far-clipping plane on the camera you’re capturing from to a lower value, and that should clip out the background stuff.

It does work for some meshes in level, but sky box still can’t be cliped out.

If you want the background to be transparent, you also need to hook 1 minus A from the TextureSample into Opacity in your material, and set BlendMode on the material to Translucent (you could also use Masked, but then the borders are distorted)
