RE: [hlcoders] How do you change camera Render Target's resolution?
Hi Gary and Tony
Thanks for answering
I have been trying Gary's suggestion to create a new render target. Using a
render texture vmf file does not seem to work, it displays the texture but does
not render to it.
At the moment I am trying to use CreateNamedRenderTargetTexture to see if I
can create a 512 x 512 render target but that does not seem to be working ether.
Is there some other way to re-create the texture?
In the rear view mirror tutorial mirrorView is limited to the size of the
Render target and _rt_Camera is only 256 x 256.

I just looked at joel's tut:
//Our view information, Origin, View Direction, window size
// location on material, and visual ratios.
mirrorView.width = 256;
mirrorView.height = 128;
I haven't actually tested it or anything, but that should be all you have to
change.

I have been trying to increase the size of the mirror window in the
Rear view mirror tutorial, I think I need to change the
resolution of the render target called by:
ITexture *pRenderTarget = GetCameraTexture();
Which calls
static CTextureReference s_pCameraTexture;
ITexture *GetCameraTexture( void )
{
if ( !s_pCameraTexture )
{
s_pCameraTexture.Init( materials-FindTexture( _rt_Camera,
TEXTURE_GROUP_RENDER_TARGET ) );
//IMaterial::IsErrorMaterial();
// Test texture resolution code
int test1,test2,test3,test4;
test1=s_pCameraTexture-GetMappingWidth() ;
test2=s_pCameraTexture-GetMappingHeight();
test3=s_pCameraTexture-GetActualWidth() ;
test4=s_pCameraTexture-GetActualHeight();
// Test texture resolution code
Assert( !IsErrorTexture( s_pCameraTexture ) );
AddReleaseFunc();
}
return s_pCameraTexture;
When I look at GetCameraTexture in debug mode is calling the
_rt_Camera texture but I cannot find it
anywhere, is there some other way of generating a Render Target
texture?
Thanks

Well I just looked at the whole texture; and the actual mirror that gets
displayed on the screen is not limited to 256x256. you can leave the capture
viewport at 256x128, and still change the size of what gets displayed on the
screen. I've worked with render targets many many many times. The only thing
a larger render target would do is give you better quality at a slower
expense.
If you want to change the size of the mirror displayed on the hud, why don't
you edit the lines that set the mirror's size on the hud? ie:
CHudMirror::Paint where it sets the image that gets /drawn/ to the hud to
256x128? Ie: if you want to make that resolution scaled.. you could simply
change it to this:
//Set Mirror to 256x128 pixels -- add XRES and YRES so our
image panel is scaled to our resolution
m_Mirror-SetSize( XRES(256), YRES(128) );
m_Mirror-SetVisible( true );
Other than that..

RE: [hlcoders] How do you change camera Render Target's resolution?
Hi Tony
Thanks that was very useful, I have implement that together with a larger
screen capture, by replacing the mirror's mirror.vmt base texture from
_rt_Camera(256x256) to _rt_PowerOfTwoFB (1024x512) and changing:
view.cpp
ITexture *pRenderTarget = GetCameraTexture();
to
ITexture *pRenderTarget = GetPowerOfTwoFrameBufferTexture();
Am I right in saying the restriction on what the HUD was showing was caused
by the mirror.vmt's use of _rt_Camera as its rendertexture ? which is
defined in matrendertexture.cpp engine side?
Regards
Carl
