Widget Component colors are different in World Space

[Everynone]

Widget Components in World Space mode simply do not offer the same quality & performance - there are major compromises to them living in 3D space. Some things you could do:

• never increase the component scale beyond 1:

Instead, for extra clarity at the cost of performance, lower Scale and increase Draw Size. There are limits in place here, though.

• changing Translucency Pass to After Motion Blur can help with blurriness when things move:

Ensure to make a copy of the material before you apply any changes.

• depending on the how it’s supposed to work, perhaps it’d be feasible to switch to a Screen Space widget once the user zooms onto the computer screen. Similar to what can be seen in the animation in this post:

Widget live texture.

It might be the case of a tutorial / docs never existing in the first place… Who knows. The Widget: [image] You can do anything you need inside but it must be wrapped in a Retainer Box which can output to a render target. – we will use the Retain Render flag to switch between 3d and 2d screens – if you do not need the 3d computer screen animated, untick Render on Phase – if you want it animated, enable Render on Phase and use Phase Count to control the update frequency. 10 means every 10…

And the final result:

Well after all I did just used the monitor being turned off technique and well: [Image from Gyazo] Doesn’t look that bad in my opinion.

It may not be in line with the design of the project, of course. Just a thought!
