Hello all,
I am currently working on an inventory widget for my game. The part that I am working on is the thumbnail. In short, what I am looking to make is something similar to the gif posted here where the thumbnail is the model and the camera (or the the static mesh) is rotating
Now I have it somewhat working. I am currently using a render target and a scene capture 2D component and verified that my thumbnail displays the model.
I also created some blueprint code that will rotate the camera and verified this working. However, there are 2 issues that I am running into preventing me from completing this:
-
When I pick up the item, I actually destroy the instance of the actor and pull a data structure containing specific info for the inventory. When this happens, the camera stops rotating. I know why this is happening because there is no reference to the camera when the actor is destroyed. I believe that I need to rethink my approach on using the scene capture. But I am not sure of alternative approaches. One thing that I can do is to place all of the items in a space outside of the main level and keep a reference to this item. But I feel this is cumbersome and there has to be a better way
-
The background of the image is the scene and it needs to be either a flat color or transparent (preferred transparent)
Any help or direction on this would be much appreciated. I have attached a few more pictures for reference on my setup. (will post later due to file limitation)
