HoloView 3D | Render Your World in Real Time

Turn cameras into live holographic and screen-based displays, with vanilla blueprint projectors left intact.

HoloView 3D now includes:

• HoloTable - a dedicated 3D / Tactical holographic table using the vanilla Console model and screens
• Cockpit / Control Seat HoloView 3D
• HoloCam for live LCD camera displays
• Tactical View - high-performance wireframe synthetic vision for cameras
• Docking Display for connector alignment

✦ HOLOCAM

HoloCam turns compatible LCDs, cockpit screens, and control-seat displays into live camera monitors.

Select HoloCam from the screen's Apps menu, choose a camera, and the display shows that camera's live view.

HoloCam Features

• Standalone LCD support
• Cockpit and control-seat screen support
• Independent camera selection per screen
• Multiple simultaneous HoloCam feeds
• Adjustable Resolution
• Adjustable Render Quality
• Adjustable FOV
• Adjustable Grid Render Distance
• Adjustable Terrain Render Distance
• Terrain and voxel landscapes
• Ships, stations, grids, and subgrids
• Characters and NPCs
• Dynamic entities, floating objects, projectiles, missiles, and meteors where available
• Water support where available
• Persistent terrain coverage for smoother revisits

Two HoloCam viewing modes: Standard offers a richer, full-color camera view. Tactical / Wireframe prioritizes terrain and structural awareness with a synthetic-vision display.

Default HoloCam FOV is 60°.

✦ TACTICAL VIEW | WIREFRAME SYNTHETIC VISION

A performance-focused way to visualize the world through your cameras.

Tactical View is HoloCam's synthetic-vision mode. Instead of recreating a detailed, textured camera image, it displays a simplified view of the terrain and nearby structures using wireframe-style geometry. It's particularly useful for vehicles, difficult terrain, remote operations, and situational awareness.

Tactical View Features

• Terrain mesh visualization - see terrain elevation and shape through a simplified wireframe-style surface.
• Grid and structural outlines - view ships, stations, and nearby blocks as simplified geometry.
• Depth-aware drawing - hidden-line rejection helps reduce outlines from geometry blocked by solid surfaces.
• Improved terrain streaming - camera-centered coverage, persistent disk-backed terrain tiles, and progressive detail improve continuity when moving, turning, and revisiting areas.
• Adjustable wire detail - Low, Medium, High, or Ultra Tactical Wire Detail presets.
• Independent quality settings - choose Grid Detail and Terrain Density separately, from 25K through 200K presets.
• Adjustable view range and FOV - balance scene coverage and performance for your vehicle or monitoring setup.
• Optional navigation aids - Return-to-Seat Arrow and Horizon / Heading overlays, each independently switchable.
• Performance readout - displayed update rate (UPS) and game FPS diagnostics.

Recommended default Tactical configuration

• View Mode: Tactical / Wireframe
• Tactical Wire Detail: High
• HoloCam Grid Detail: Medium 50K
• HoloCam Terrain Density: Medium 50K
• HoloCam 2D Render Distance: 2,500 m
• Focus Resolution, Return-to-Seat Arrow, Horizon / Heading: Off (optional)

How to enable: Select the HoloCam app on a compatible LCD or cockpit screen, select your camera, then choose Tactical / Wireframe under HoloCam View Mode. Switch back to Standard whenever you want the full-color camera view.

HOLOTABLE | DEDICATED 3D HOLOGRAMS

New: HoloTable is its own buildable block, not a replacement for a vanilla blueprint Projector. Find it in the G-menu by its Console Block thumbnail with HOLO across the top.

Built using the vanilla Console Block model, the HoloTable projects a live 3D view from the table. Its four built-in screens still work normally with vanilla text/image scripts and compatible custom screen apps, including HoloCam.

HoloTable Features

• Live HoloView 3D projection and optional Tactical HoloView mode
• Source camera selection, range and projection controls
• World-anchored projection that does not turn to follow the player
• Four independently configurable built-in screens with vanilla and custom LCD apps
• Own terminal controls; blueprint-only projector settings are hidden on HoloTable
• Ordinary vanilla Projectors keep their original blueprint functions and controls

Note: HoloTable uses the vanilla Console model from the Decorative Blocks DLC. Other compatible HoloCam screens and mod features do not require the HoloTable.

✦ COCKPIT & CONTROL SEAT DISPLAYS

HoloView 3D can run directly on compatible built-in cockpit and control-seat screens.

Select the HoloView 3D screen app, assign a camera, and that screen becomes a live spatial display.

Cockpit Features

• Per-screen camera assignment
• Next / Previous Camera toolbar actions
• HoloView On / Off toolbar action
• Automatic Fit Screen mode
• Manual Scale control
• Adjustable Render Distance
• Adjustable FOV
• Independent settings per screen

✦ DOCKING DISPLAY

Docking Display adds a dedicated connector alignment view for precision approaches.

• Select the host connector
• Select the target connector
• Live alignment guidance
• Distance information
• Useful for ships with limited direct visibility
