Increase the Quality of RT Camera Materials

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
making a map that puts _rt_camera on the players' screen, and the quality is absolutely terrible.

Describe the solution you'd like
If it's possible, please find a way to up the quality of rt camera textures. I think it's possible in source filmmaker, and other games seemingly have higher quality on it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
i dunno?

Additional context
this shit looks horrible

Do other games actually change the default and do existing maps work properly on them (eg Breen monitors)?

I can create a new RT texture at a higher resolution but you'd have to point your own texture at the new basetexture.

I'm hesitant to change the default because it would break existing maps that use _rt_camera and their material faces will be cut off.
And without access to the material system it would be difficult to fix scaling automatically.

That’s a good point, I’ve never actually thought of that. If possible, a higher quality one would be nice. It would be even better if I could somehow create one myself with VTFEdit, though I am not sure if that’s possible.

No, existing maps do not work properly. Garry's Mod change the RT camera quality and it broke the scaling on default monitors. Here is an exapmle:
