malexander Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Has any one ever created a custom viewport that has 6 or 9 sides? I haven't, but you'd likely have to use a rectangular viewport with a carefully designed stencil buffer to get that effect. Edit: You could also use a camera mask for that effect.

LaidlawFX Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 yeah this is slightly above my head can you elaborate on a stencil buffer(more key words for Google for me), and some more words on a possible camera mask that would let me do something like this. For trial I split my viewport up into 9 sections, but the gui stow bars and dividers take up way too much screen real estate with that many views to make it worth it, plus lack of a square monitor.

malexander Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Oh, you want a 3x2 or 3x3 viewport layout -- I thought you meant a hexagonal viewport shape. Other than combining several viewers in a desktop, there is no way to do that. There are only 4 viewports in a 3D view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
