Using NGUI with the Rift

Excellent tutorial! As an NGUI user this is going to be really useful :)

I suppose an extra step we could take is to package up a prefab with the rendering plane and shaders and distribute that. Then a user could just add the prefab to the right camera or player object, wire up the NGUI camera, and be good to go.

On a side note, I was not aware of Sublime Text. It looks pretty neat :)

Thanks!

Good idea about providing a package file. Not sure about the legality of distributing the NGUI shaders though, I'll have to ask on the support forum.

Sublime Text is amazing! I've been using it for about a year now. It's almost perfect... fast, massively configurable, cross platform, keyboard-centric without being obtuse, very fair license. If it had better C++ completion it WOULD be perfect.

Thanks for the tip on the NGUI. I use NGUI myself with Unity. So this Rift info will come in handy.

You should check out WebStorm by JetBrains.... its a great IDE.

I simply used one of the NGUI sample scenes & then added the OVR camera package.

This works well but I find I can only click buttons in the left lens.

Nice tutorial. I have some smearing issues with an animated widget. Does anyone know if it's fixable?

If I use the rendertexture in combination with ngui I encounter smearing as well, for example with the colored slider.

I have the same issue as Mickman, anyone have a fix for this?
It works really well except for input issues : /

Followed your tutorial, nice, easy and sweet. Now my UI is projected onto a plane, it looks nice and all...but I can't click the buttons in any way... What have I messed up? Or is there some other things I need to do in order to be able to interact with NGUI elements (which are plenty - buttons, sliders, etc)
