-		Provides the content of a [Viewport] as a dynamic [Texture2D]. This can be used to mix controls, 2D game objects, and 3D game objects in the same scene.
-		To create a [ViewportTexture] in code, use the [method Viewport.get_texture] method on the target viewport.
+		A [ViewportTexture] provides the content of a [Viewport] as a dynamic [Texture2D]. This can be used to combine the rendering of [Control], [Node2D] and [Node3D] nodes. For example, you can use this texture to display a 3D scene inside a [TextureRect], or a 2D overlay in a [Sprite3D].
+		To get a [ViewportTexture] in code, use the [method Viewport.get_texture] method on the target viewport.
 		[b]Note:[/b] A [ViewportTexture] is always local to its scene (see [member Resource.resource_local_to_scene]). If the scene root is not ready, it may return incorrect data (see [signal Node.ready]).
+		[b]Note:[/b] Instantiating scenes containing a high-resolution [ViewportTexture] may cause noticeable stutter.
