Webcam input

Hello!

Is there a use a webcam in the game engine? Or, for that matter, a video file? I have a video texture on an object in my game, which moves along fine when rendered as an animation, but freezes on the first frame in the game engine. Thank you!

I need to know too.

i think the question must be ist there a webcam library for phyton
i saw one just a few weeks before, but sry i can`t remember anymore, where you can safe webcam shots as a file. but it was only avilable for certain cams

ps:
also keep in mind, that phyton is possible to bind progs in other languages (like c++ etc)
i haven`t done this (except glsl stuff) yet
cheers

You have to use a SVN build of blender, which contain the video texture module. I think you can use webcams with it. There is a thread about it in resources.

Awesome, Rennurb and Sim, thank you so much.
I’ll dig into that right away, and tell you how it works out.
