playback a video in T3D

#1 Also intrested in such feature =)

#2 There are actually several ways you can achieve this. One is rendering gui onto a texture, the other is rendering web content to a texture where you could have a streaming flash video. Both need some coding, but the fundamentals are available in the engine and on the Torque 3D private forums.

Without source code change, you would only be able to do this using ifl or material animation I believe. Those would be without sound though.

Now that I think about it - that's pretty impressive: there are so far 4 ways to make animated materials in Torque 3D.

#3 I had this working fine in TGEA. I created movie playback control which could playback a theora file, with audio, as a texture on any surface. It also had 3D sound positioning. The tests I ran worked very well. I have not had that much time to try and add it to T3D. I was going to wait until beta2 comes out, hopefully soon, and try and impliment then.

Do you mean C++ coding?

#5 Yes.
