hi,

is it possible to render a camera view from a level into a material so you get an animated texture?
similar to this Render 3D objects in UMG Widget/HUD | EngineUnreal

thanks in advance,

Hey there, that tutorial kind of covers it, what else do you need?

3

but that tutorial shows it with a Blueprint class how can i do it with an entire level?

Do you want it for a minimap or so? If that is the case try this or this.

5

no its not for a minimap i want to have an animated screenshot of the level in the lobby

When you are in the lobby are the levels loaded?

7

you mean streaming levels? no

If the levels are not loaded then it kinda needs to be a baked animation, there might be better ways of doing this but you could record the level using a video capture software like fraps or nvidia shadow play, from that you can create a video that you can import into unreal engine and play it on the lobby.
