Question by redhotspike · Jul 20, 2016 at 08:53 PM · transparencyhidemultiple cameras

Hide an object from one camera but not another

I have two cameras on my scene at all times. One shows a side view, and one shows a top-down view. I also have objects in my scene that are visible.

However, I can't figure out how to hide one object (for the sake of this question, let's call it a cube) from the top-down camera but keep it visible in the side view camera (if I use SetActive(false) on the cube, it disappears from both cameras).

Is there some way to set the cube to transparent or hidden in the top-down camera but full view in the side camera?

Yes. You set one camera to cull the layer on which the object is placed, and the other not to. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Layers.html

Yep, it would be that simple lol

For future reference the layers tutorial starts at 44:50 for setup, 47:15 for actual example
