Custom scene view in editor window
I need to draw scene from the camera I want in an editor window. I found this reference. But it does not work. I need the exact functionality as in the link. Anyone got any leads?
Also I want to get mouse events in the window. Any help is appreciated.
You don't need RenderTextures (which are a pro feature) to render a camera to an editor window. Take a look at this:
public Camera m_Cam;
private Rect sceneRect;
void OnGUI()
{
//...
// get a rectangle somehow
GUILayout.Box("");
Rect R = GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect();
// important: only render during the repaint event
if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint)
{
sceneRect = GUILayoutUtility.GetLastRect();
sceneRect.y += 20; // adjust the windows header
m_Cam.pixelRect = sceneRect;
m_Cam.Render(); // render the camera into the window
}
/*
Handles.SetCamera(m_Cam);
// Here you might want to display some Handles
*/
}
This worked and I don't know why it has never been documented. It also seems more efficient than Render Texture method. Thanks so much.
This is an interesting approach @Bunny83 but I can only see the skybox not the cube I'm testing with. It's funny, but the cube displays in the camera preview but I only see the skybox in the render. Any advice?
You may also consider making a custom SceneView window, which is really simple, you just derive your window from SceneView instead of EditorWindow, then you can add a custom inspector and check for the specific window being focused to only work in your window, and with Handles, you can basically draw a custom GUI window in sceneview.
