Hi Dirk, hi all that was the answer that I was searching for. Thanks for this. Below you mentioned one big viewport that will be split between all servers. What if I want to use the ProjectionCameraDecorator for a n sided CAVE environment rendered by n servers. What equipment do I need? I guess: - One camera to be decorated - One ProjectionCameraDecorator and ProjectionSurface description for each wall - One viewport for each wall? Or is one viewport for all sufficient?
