Resources and approaches for using multiple cameras to work with multiple camera outputs and targets in the Universal Render Pipeline (URP).

Note

If you use multiple cameras, it might make rendering slower. An active camera runs through the entire rendering loop even if it renders nothing.

Page	Description
Camera stacking	Learn about the fundamental concepts of camera stacking.
Set up a camera stack	Stack cameras to layer the outputs of multiple cameras into a single combined output.
Add and remove cameras in a camera stack	Add, remove, and reorder cameras within a camera stack.
Set up split-screen rendering	Render multiple camera outputs to a single render target to create effects such as split screen rendering.
Apply different post processing effects to separate cameras	Apply different post-processing setups to individual cameas within a scene.
Render a camera's output to a Render Texture	Render to a Render Texture to create effects such as in-game CCTV monitors.
Create a render request	Trigger a camera to render to a Render Texture outside of URP rendering loop.
