How Many Cameras Can Torque Handle?????

by George Patterson · in Technical Issues · 01/26/2007 (4:01 pm) · 3 replies

Can Torque suport 3 cameras views at once? I would like to have the first person view for my car however I would also like to have the left and right side views. Do I need 3 monitors? in my first person view can I also have a rearview view?

At least as many as the number of question marks you used. It just takes some work.

Yeah sorry about the question marks. I was just a bit excited. So have you seen this feature done before?

Yes, it is certainly possible, and it all depends on your programming skill and your target market. Multiple monitors is the hardest of course, but several people have done various stages of multiple cameras, from a "picture in picture" view to split screen.

Note that none of this is stock in the engine, and all requires a source code license and extensive programming knowledge (as well as Torque knowledge).
