Hello! I’m using panda3d for making a virtual reality on a neuroscience experiment. To do that, I need to display content in two different monitors at the same time. All works fine. The problem comes when I have to render a fullscreen black frame, to separate different events in the gameplay. For some reason, I cannot cover the full window. I’ve tried
cardMaker = CardMaker("blackScreen")
cardMaker.setFrameFullscreenQuad()
self.blackScreens = []
camera2dNP = self.setup2DCamera(self.firstWindow)
blackScreenFirst = NodePath(cardMaker.generate())
blackScreenFirst.reparentTo(camera2dNP)
blackScreenFirst.setColor(0, 0, 0, 1)
blackScreenFirst.hide()
self.blackScreens.append(blackScreenFirst)
Where the 2D camera camera2dNP is made as follows, from the window:
def setup2DCamera(self, window):
# Create a 2D camera for the window
lens = OrthographicLens()
# Set the film size of the lens
lens.setFilmSize(1, 1)
lens.setNearFar(-1000, 1000)
camera2d = Camera('camera2d')
camera2d.setLens(lens)
camera2dNP = NodePath(camera2d)
# Create a display region covering the whole window
dr = window.makeDisplayRegion()
dr.setCamera(camera2dNP)
return camera2dNP
I’ve also tried experimenting with the size of cardMaker(), like setting cardMaker.setFrame(-2, 2, -2, 2) instead of cardMaker.setFrameFullscreenQuad(), but it still does not work. I attach a picture of how it looks like. As can be seen, the card never covers the whole window, only part of it. On the default window, I can just reparent the card to render2d and it works, but there is no such thing, as far as I could find, in the other two windows.
I’d appreciate if anyone had any idea of how to do it! Thanks,
Antonio
