I'm using performer for displaying a video texture. I get the video input
from a Sirius video on a Onyx10000 Infinite Reality machine. While the
video is initialized on one thread, the texture is created on another
thread using shared memory. The output is that I'm not getting the video
texture on the polygon, but instead, I'm getting the screen capture
pertaining to the polygon's display area, at the time of texturing.
To summarize, I would like to know if video can be initialized on one
thread and the texturing performed on another thread. The texture and
vertex coordinates are stored in pfShared memory created on the second
thread.
Thanx,
Satheesh
