Camera:SetRenderTarget

This method sets a camera to render to a texture buffer.

Syntax

• void SetRenderTarget(texturebuffer: TextureBuffer)

Example

-- Get the displays
local displays = GetDisplays()

-- Create a window
local window = CreateWindow("Ultra Engine", 0, 0, 1280, 720, displays[1], WINDOW_CENTER | WINDOW_TITLEBAR)

-- Create a world
local world = CreateWorld()

-- Create a framebuffer
local framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(window)

-- Create light
local light = CreateBoxLight(world)
light:SetRange(-10, 10)
light:SetRotation(15, 15, 0)
light:SetColor(2)

-- Create camera
local camera = CreateCamera(world)
camera:SetClearColor(0.125)
camera:SetPosition(0, 0, -3)
camera:SetFov(70)

-- Create scenery
local box = CreateBox(world)

local cone = CreateCone(world)
cone:SetPosition(1.25, 0, 0)
cone:SetColor(0, 0, 1)

local sphere = CreateSphere(world)
sphere:SetPosition(-1.25, 0, 0)
sphere:SetColor(1, 0, 0)

-- Create camera and texture buffer
local texbuffer = CreateTextureBuffer(256, 256)
local cam2 = CreateCamera(world)
cam2:SetClearColor(1, 1, 1)
cam2:SetRenderTarget(texbuffer)

-- Create material
local mtl = CreateMaterial()
local tex = texbuffer:GetColorAttachment()
mtl:SetTexture(tex)
box:SetMaterial(mtl)
cone:SetMaterial(mtl)
sphere:SetMaterial(mtl)

-- Main loop
while (not window:Closed() and not window:KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE)) do
    -- Orient the texturebuffer camera
    cam2:SetPosition(0, 0, 0)
    cam2:Turn(0, 1, 0)
    cam2:Move(0, 0, -3)

    world:Update()
    world:Render(framebuffer)
