RT_Camera Panels

There are 6 Rt_camera panels Body Groups in this model, so you don't have to go looking for separate models. They can be turn off in scene by chosing the None Body Group.

1) Circle
2) Horizontal Oval
3) Vertical Oval
4) Horizontal 16x9 Rectangle
5) Vertical 16x9 Rectangle and
6) Square
7) None

The models use 2 skins, Skin 0 is an unlit skins that will glow in maps like BlackVoid and allows you to position and scale the model easily. Once you have it in position and have your RT Camera set up, swith to Skin 1 to display the RT Camera's output.

The Skins are $nocull 1, which means that you could use them as a 2 way mirror in an interigation room scenario. Postion the RT Camera in the center of the panel and broadcast the character looking at it's reflection on one side while the rest of the gang are watching through the mirrror on the other. Just spin the panel to get the desired effect.

The panels have been wrapped in hitboxes, so they should not disappear while animating.

Yes you can scale them, but you won't gain any DOF by doing so, the image will just get larger. Increasing DOF is done through the RT_Camera settings. If you do scale (up or down) set the scale controller on the bip_pelvis bone.

RT_Cameras have been around since SFM was released and setting them up is pretty simple. Just follow Doc_Ock_Rokcs video found here. http://youtu.be/VOeHkZsIJs4 .

Thanks Doc!!!

Ok, so now the textures of your RT_Camera look a little fuzzy, this is because the default texture size of the RT_Texture is defaulted to 256. To fix this, open the startup parameters for SFM (steam Client, SFM properties, set launch options). Add -monitortexturesize xxxx where xxxx is the resolution you want the texture to project to your launch options. (I set mine to 2048) Just remember the higher the res, the longer the render...

Thanks to Teerave and Rebaccus of the OSFM group for helping me figure this out!!!
