ViewportTexture¶
Inherits: Texture2D < Texture < Resource < RefCounted < Object
Provides the content of a Viewport as a dynamic texture.
Description¶
A ViewportTexture provides the content of a Viewport as a dynamic Texture2D. This can be used to combine the rendering of Control, Node2D and Node3D nodes. For example, you can use this texture to display a 3D scene inside a TextureRect, or a 2D overlay in a Sprite3D.
To get a ViewportTexture in code, use the Viewport.get_texture method on the target viewport.
Note: A ViewportTexture is always local to its scene (see Resource.resource_local_to_scene). If the scene root is not ready, it may return incorrect data (see Node.ready).
Note: Instantiating scenes containing a high-resolution ViewportTexture may cause noticeable stutter.

Property Descriptions¶
NodePath viewport_path = NodePath("")
The path to the Viewport node to display. This is relative to the local scene root (see Resource.get_local_scene), not to the nodes that use this texture.
Note: In the editor, this path is automatically updated when the target viewport or one of its ancestors is renamed or moved. At runtime, this path may not automatically update if the scene root cannot be found.
