22 to texture is a feature with which it is possible to create nice special

77 <p>Now, we load an animated mesh to be displayed. As in most examples,
78 we'll take the fairy md2 model. The difference here: We set the shininess<br>
79 of the model to a value other than 0 which is the default value. This
80 enables specular highlights on the model if dynamic lighting is on.
81 The value influences the size of the highlights.</p>

98 <p> To make specular highlights appear on the model, we need a dynamic
99 light in the scene. We add one directly in vicinity of the model.
100 In addition, to make the model not that dark, we set the ambient light
101 to gray. </p>

142 <p> To test out the render to texture feature, we need a render target
143 texture. These are not like standard textures, but need to be created
144 first. To create one, we call IVideoDriver::createRenderTargetTexture()
145 and specify the size of the texture. Please don't use sizes bigger
146 than the frame buffer for this, because the render target shares the
147 zbuffer with the frame buffer. And because we want to render the scene
148 not from the user camera into the texture, we add another, fixed camera
149 to the scene. But before we do all this, we check if the current running
150 driver is able to render to textures. If it is not, we simply display
151 a warning text.</p>

185 <p> Nearly finished. Now we need to draw everything. Every frame, we
186 draw the scene twice. Once from the fixed camera into the render target
187 texture and once as usual. When rendering into the render target,
188 we need to disable the visibilty of the test cube, because it has
189 the render target texture applied to it.<br>
190 That's, wasn't quite complicated I hope. :)</p>
