Picture-in-Picture Effect

Questions & Answers
1

Hello! I would just like to know if anybody knows anyway to do a Picture-in-Picture effect. Let me elaborate some. I am creating a game in which the character has a phone, and the idea behind having this phone, is that the phone can be used as a “night vision googles” type thing, but I don’t want it to take up the whole screen, I just want it to be in the hand of the character at the bottom of the screen. I can handle the image effects and such to handle the night vision, that’s not the problem, I just need to know if there is a relatively simple way to get the screen to show as if it where a second camera. I’ve made an image to show what I mean in case there is some confusion. ( Yay for horrible MSPaint diagrams! XD)

“As if it were a second camera”. So make a second camera! Then set the Viewport Rect of that camera to be, say, X:0, Y:0, W:0.1, H:0.1 to have your phone screen occupy a 10th of the screen spzce, positioned at the bottom left hand corner.

Or, if you want to attach it to a moving object in the game rather than a static “picture-in-picture” effect, render the output of a second camera to a rendertexture, and then apply that texture to the material of your mobile phone screen in the game.
