Re: multi camera projections

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

Before I´m putting together said feature request, is there
some other functionality of the Texture_Space_Generator
(and the Incidence node) except a Camera list/pick missing?

I´d hope this can become part of the 6.x update, so hurry...

Cheers
