Can a renderview not render a texture from the current scene?

What do you mean ?

So, imagine off in space somewhere I create a little 3D scene with some cubes and spheres; it's off the normal viewing area so you don't see it. I create a new perspective camera to view just that little scene. In template mode, I can tell the viewport to use that camera and I can see my scene and it's all good. Then I switch back to the default camera, create a quad, and create a material that uses the renderview of that new perspective camera I created, and map that material to the quad. I cannot see anything.

I can create a new scene within the same project, create a quad and map the same material (because it's shared in the project) to that quad - and I can see the camera's view of those objects mapped onto a quad.

So it doesn't work when I try to make a self contained scene to do this, it only works if the renderview selects a different scene. It would be cool to be able to accomplish everything in one scene.

Which version have you ? Because you can put a quad with a renderview on it of another camera in the same scene...

I will try again, starting from scratch.

I'm sorry - it worked just fine. I tried doing it on a different laptop; perhaps it was a hardware thing with a non-supported graphics card.

Now there is another problem, however - if I have multiple renderviews, they each seem to trigger any animation - so the second renderview of the same set of objects is animating faster.

Oh... actually, it works on playout, but the Layout view gets out of whack, so it's not the end of the world, but it's not quite right, either.
