This node renders connected objects and lights onto the surface of chosen objects.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Width
Width of rendered texture.
Height
Width of rendered texture.
Background Colour
Change the background colour of the rendered texture.
Disable Render To Texture (Pass Through)
When enabled, the texture rendering will be ignored and the child nodes will be passed through into the main scene.
Use 360 Degree Camera
Render onto surfaces using a 360 degree camera mapping.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
