One of the Performer 2.1 (?) readme files states that
"clip textures only work in single-pipe applications".
Obviously there can only be one clip texture centre, but
that shouldn't matter since in most (of my) multipipe apps,
all pipes share the same eyepoint (with orientation
offsets). Therefore all pipes would share the same image
cache, and the only bottleneck I can think of is downloading
from the image cache to multiple texture memories. Would
this be too much of a bottleneck or does Performer just not
support it? (Note I don't have an iR handy so I haven't
actually tried it..)

Thanks a lot, and apologies if this is already been
discussed. Glenn.
