render.SetBlend() on render.RenderView()

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I’m looking to blend the client’s current view with something from a render.RenderView(). Something like 50% their normal view and 50% the RenderView.

Currently my code is looking something like this



if CLIENT then
	hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "", function()
		render.SetBlend( 0.5 )
		render.RenderView( {
			origin = Vector( 0, 0, 0 ),
			angles = EyeAngles(),
			x = x,
			y = y,
			w = w,
			h = h,
		 } )


	end )
end

Any idea why this isn’t working?

What about it isn’t working?

#3

It exclusively draws the Renderview without transparency

#4

Instead of using renderview to draw directly to the screen render it into a rendertarget, then draw your rendertarget to the screen semi transparent.
