How can I find my viewport?

itgiawa

I assume the viewport is the window we look through to see the 3D objects. I'd like to increase the size of this window without increasing the resolution of my game. Heres my game normally:

When I go to display settings and increase the "window width" and "window height" it does increase the size of the window, but it also increases the resolution as you can see by the smaller text:

How can I increase the size of the window without increasing the resolution? I don't seem to have a viewport node in any of my scenes. I'm basing my game off of Zylan's blocky voxel game demo, so its possible its there and I just cant find it?

Thanks!

You should check out this page in the docs: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/viewports/multiple_resolutions.html

You can access the Viewport used for rendering with get_tree().root.

One thing to note is that root can, depending on the project settings, have a different resolution that what is actually shown on screen even without any adjustments in code due to the project settings for resizing (2d, viewport or none). I do not think it would be an issue here, but it can initially be confusing. I only discovered it while working on a mobile project that needed to resize content based on whether the virtual keyboard was shown.

You can set the Window Stretch to Viewport in the Project Settings. That will achieve what you are asking, but the image will look pixelated or blurry, so I would not recommend it. It is much better to let the resolution scale dynamically (even if the text becomes smaller). Because you don't know if users will have 720p screens or 4K monitors or ultrawide monitors, or whatever, setting a fixed resolution will make the game look poor across the board.

I think that's what they are going for.

I see, okay. Yes, then set Stretch to Viewport and disable filtering on the viewport.

var view_texture = get_viewport().get_texture()
view_texture.flags = 0
