How to make a monitor on GUI?

Hi everyone,

I am making a vhicle game which needs a first person view in it. In GUI part, I need a monitor which displays mini map, telescope view, snipe view(zoom in and zoom out), and etc. I have no idea about how to render a different scene on a small part of my screen, who can help me? Thanks a lot.

I guess you should wait for the GUI Designer pack from Dropandplay :)

Try these resources created by the now famous Melv May, erm producer of "everything no-one else manages to figure out" :)

Thank you Apparatus, your reply is so quick :)
I think terrain editor's height map view just likes mini map that I need, but there is still something that I long for.
And you mentioned "wait for", what's that meaning? GUI Designer hasn't been finished?
