Idea for the v1.6 new Habitat Cam.

Please don't think I am ungrateful, been waiting for today and the pack is really great. The launch trailer is amazing by the way!!

Just a random thought really........

Is there a way to make the new habitat cameras display their feed onto a billboard?

I know this is asking a lot and is probably very very complicated if not impossible.

I actually thought that’s what the cam did. I thought it was a way for guests to into areas that were not viewable from outside. It sounds like it is just for player to see and “guests at home”

It would make your FPS go down to like 5 if they did broadcast...

Hmm, good point, maybe it already does what I am suggesting. Will go have a science experiment with it now I think. I've just assumed its a new camera angle that you can place and view with no additional functions.

Yeah for sure. Although, I'm not talking about an actual broadcast.

In planet Coaster for example, when you click to go into a coaster or ride camera, the camera view simply swaps. Persumeasbly, when I click onto a Habitat cam the camera view simply swaps. Nothing is actually being broadcast.

So if the game can change the view to let me see what the cameras see, is it possible that it can simply take that view and have it displayed in small on a billboard.

I just mean what an awesome thing in Tegidcam or any first person view. To see the Habitat Cam footage with the Education/Habitat audio then walk into the viewing area.

I made a post about this as well
I think the cameras should be able to sync to custom billboards so guests can see animals in their shelters or just hard to see. Maybe we the creators don’t see movement on the billboards but the guests do, maybe that can help the FPS solution

You could take a screenshot from the camera point of view and use on a screen. I know that doesn't give the Livestream you want, but from a distance at least, it would look like a Livestream.

I saw someone on Reddit made a recording of the habitat camera footage, and then set that up on a billboard. It just plays on a loop but at least it simulates the same thing pretty nicely.

I’d just like the cameras to help guests find the shy animals easier
Sick of them complaining about not seeing animals that aren’t that hard to see

Ruble trillions did this in his zoo for his African penguins, which is worth checking out for a realistic and detailed build.

Thanks everybody. There are some really good work arounds. Yes OK the full simulation effect is lost on pre-recorded vids etc but the overall required effect stays in place perfectly.
