Camera Window

Is it possible to attach a camera to an addImage window? IE, I make an image window, then display something one of the cameras sees in it?

You would have to render the window camera's view to a buffer, then attach the buffer as a texture to the window object, and render the standard scene. This is similar to screenshots, which are not implemented, and I don't think are currently planned. If you search the boards for 'screenshot' there was a discussion about them with a suggestion regarding how to pull it off in directx only. It may involve recompiling the irrlicht source.

Another method would be to render into a ViewPort. There is a MeshViewer GUI Element, which does this.
