Render a camera view in a viewport frame

[Black_Albi (AlbiMousse)]

Hello.
Since I am pretty bad with viewort frame, I decided to open this topic.
So i’m trying to render a camera view in a viewport frame (something like in the image below)

But from what I’ve seen so far, only the player character or a part is rendered. I know that it has a “CurrentCamera” property but I don’t really know how to use it. Any idea?

What is the issue? Are you trying to mimic/construct this picture? It would be best if you show your code and picture of your result

The result is a blank white square, I am here to see if you have some idea of what can I use to achieve the result of this photo montage

Did you put a WorldModel inside of the viewport frame?

After a little bit of playing around I’ve managed to get this working. I’d like to give thanks to @XAXA for their SkyBox model (which can be used to emulate skyboxes in WorldModels).

What are you working on currently? (2019)

Skyboxes in ViewportFrames. If you want the skybox model: The skybox will need to be moved every camera update so that its position (but not its rotation!) is locked to the camera. This also needs to be scaled up so that it doesn’t get rendered in front of the subject. For the vid, I scaled it up 100x. Here’s a free scaling function: local function scaleModel(model, scale) if scale ~= 1 then for _, v in next, model:GetDescendants() do if v:IsA("BasePart") then v.Siz…

Here’s the script I wrote.

local run = game:GetService("RunService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()

local clientCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local gui = script.Parent
local viewportFrame = gui:WaitForChild("ViewportFrame")
local worldModel = viewportFrame:WaitForChild("WorldModel")
local viewportCamera = Instance.new("Camera")
viewportFrame.CurrentCamera = viewportCamera
viewportCamera.Parent = viewportFrame

task.wait(1)

character.Archivable = true
local characterClone = character:Clone()
characterClone.Parent = worldModel
characterClone.Humanoid.NameDisplayDistance = 0
characterClone.Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.Subject

run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	characterClone:PivotTo(character:GetPivot())
	viewportCamera.CFrame = clientCamera.CFrame
end)

Here’s the model file if you’d like to see how everything is organised:

Okay, so I know this is a somewhat old post, but I was wondering, after a while the model stops working… Any reason why? I am a beginner scripter/GUI designer and would really appreciate the reply!

Thanks,
Theo

have you found it out? i still have the problem
