Entity description

An entity that can use point_cameras to render images for materials used by entities. To author the material, use the special identifier _rt_Camera for the $baseTexture (or whatever texture you want, like envmap, etc.) in the .vmt then connect the 'target' field to the entity which uses that material, and the 'PointCamera' field to the point_camera you want to have appear on that entity's material.

• For an example of use, refer to the Half-life 2 map d3_breen_01, where the model effects/portalrift.mdl (skinned with the _rt_Camera base texture material) is used to let the player see through the opening Combine portal.
• See also func_monitor - An alternative entity devoted to displaying the contents of a point_camera.
