I tried asking this question in http://answers.unity3d.com/, however its been 2 hours and its not getting any answers.
I am trying to control when the camera renders to achieve an effect. Firstly, I disable the automatic rendering with camera.enable = false, then in the Update() I call camera.Render() it only displays a grey screen in the game view window, however the built application renders fine.
My goal is to render once with a small far clipping plane, then render with increased near and far planes (without clearing the depth buffer).
Am I missing a editor flag? I have tried using [ExecuteInEditMode]. Building the application each time is a huge waste of time.
