This page contains a listing of properties you will find with the render target Blueprint nodes.

Begin Draw Canvas to Render Target

Returns a Canvas object that can be used to draw to the specified render target. Be sure to call EndDrawCanvasToRenderTarget to complete the rendering!

Please note that DrawMaterialtoRenderTarget is the simpler version and should be used when possible instead of Begin/EndDrawCanvasToRT.


Property	Description
Texture Render Target	Texture render target 2D reference.
Canvas	Reference to canvas.
Size	Size of the render target.
Context	Draw to render target Context Structure.

End Draw Canvas to Render Target

Must be paired with a BeginDrawCanvasToRenderTarget to complete rendering to a render target.


Property	Description
Context	Draw to render target Context Structure.

Clear Render Target 2D

Clears the specified render target with the given Clear Color.


Property	Description
Texture Render Target	Texture render target 2D reference.
Clear Color	Clears the specified render target with the given Clear Color.

Create Render Target 2D

Creates a new render target and initializes it to the specified dimensions.


Property	Description

Height	Render targets height size.
Return Value	Texture render target 2D reference.

Draw Material to Render Target

Renders a quad with the Material applied to the specified render target. This node sets the render target even if it is already set, which is an expensive operation. If you are rendering multiple primitives to the same target area, use BeginDrawCanvasToRenderTarget / EndDrawCanvasToRenderTarget .


Property	Description
Texture Render Target	Texture render target 2D reference.
Material	Material that the render target results will be saved to.

Export Render Target

Exports a Render Target as an HDR image onto the disk.


Property	Description
