Hi.
Is there a way to get “image-in-image” of what Capture 2d see, for more precise positioning of this actor?
It’s possible to Pilot if I use it as independent actor, which is somewhat helpful, but in case if Capture 2d used as component in Blueprint even this is unavailable.
Hey there @DoctorZaorish! Welcome to the community! What you’re looking for it Render Targets! Basically it takes what your scene capture captures, turns it into a material to use everywhere else and you’re all done! Super quick tutorial below!
As for your piloting, yes you can strap the capture on any actor you please, even pawns.

Thank you for reply. Yeah, that’s what I’m doing.
Just was curious is there something like Picture-in-Picture for Capture 2d?
There’s no direct feature for PiP for Capture2D since they are only technically a camera but it stands to reason we should be able to create one with the editor widget blueprints if you’re using it in editor. I’ll return with a proof of concept editor utility if it works out, then explain how to make it.

Alright @DrZaorish1! So this is a quick one, but you could expand it into a whole tool if you like. I might go ahead and do that myself later.
First this assumes you already have a render target set up for your SC2D. Right click that Render Target and click Create Material:
Then go into that material and change the material domain to UI and make sure it’s hooked up:
Then create an editor utility widget and stuck an image in it (and shrunk it to be comparable to the size of my editor window.
Then I assigned my render target material to it’s brush.
Then I ran the editor utility widget and docked it.
Voila! Not a native solution, but an easy tool to produce! Let me know if you have any questions!
