Title: Center Drawn Game Graphics to a Rectangle in the Game Window
Post by: Fractalbase on June 24, 2014, 06:22:31 PM

Is it possible to center the game graphics rendered to a particular rectangle in the game window?  For example, in the interior of a sprite?  And then what would be the method to clip game artwork outside of that rectangle (or depending on how the graphics is rendered, I might assume that I have to calculate clipping myself)?  Is there a better way to zoom in and out of the graphics (for a 2D game) then adjusting the z position coordinate of the main camera?

thanks,

I don't quite understand what you mean. Center game graphics?

Typically, the main camera is positioned at (0, 0, z).  This draws graphics on the entire screen centered at the center of the screen.  I will like to render game graphics only in a subset of the screen, a rectangle.  Then I want the center of that rectangle to be aligned with the center of the camera.  Is there a simple way to accomplish that?

This is controlled by specifying a view rect on the Camera. It's Unity's functionality and has nothing to do with NGUI.
