Set a window's position according to viz.WORLD?

Is it possible to take the window (from viz.addWindow) away from viz.SCREEN and apply to viz.WORLD instead? I would like to position the view in the world as though it was a texQuad rather than relative to the screen. (Something like Portal.)

You can use a render node to render the scene to a texture and then apply that texture to any object in the world. Here is a simple example:

Code:

import viz

import vizact

viz.go()



# Add environment

gallery = viz.add('gallery.osgb')



# Add spinning logo

logo = viz.add('logo.ive',pos=(0,0,4))

logo.addAction(vizact.spin(0,1,0,45))



# Create render texture

tex = viz.addRenderTexture()



# Create render node

cam = viz.addRenderNode()

cam.setSize(512,512)

cam.setInheritView(False)

cam.setPosition([0.0, 5.87440, 9.62242])

cam.lookAt([0,1,4])

cam.setFov(60,1.0,0.1,100)

cam.setRenderTexture(tex)

cam.setRenderLimit(viz.RENDER_LIMIT_FRAME)



# Apply render texture to gallery painting

gallery.texture(tex,node='painting_starry-night')
