Render to Texture -- Blender 3D Game Engine

1. Add a camera to be used for render to texture.

Note:

The camera's video will be used to render to texture.
In other words, if you are using render to texture to create a security monitor, this camera is the security camera whose video will be displayed on the security monitor.

Note:

For this tutorial, position the camera so it watches the spinning Suzannes.
