Will Torque support playing video files?

by ysun · in Torque Game Engine · 02/05/2007 (8:19 pm) · 4 replies

Recently I downloaded a demo of C4 engine, it's a living room with a televesion and there is a video clip playing on it. I checked the files in demo directory, it's a quicktime video file.

It's interesting to sit in a virtual room and watch a television. Will Torque support playing video files in the engine?

Torque can play theora video files.

Visit www.theora.org for more information on the codec.

Note: Torque does not (by default) support texturing 3d objects with a video (like the tv in the C4 demo). You will need to code this in yourself, I believe there may be a resource around to help you with this.

Thanks. It seems always face to the player, is it possible to make it as one face of a brush, so it can not always face to the player?
