Hey guys, I recently bought some servo motors and have built a sort of robot webcam. I can easily control these within my code. (I use c++ by the way) Today I had an idea of making a simple game which makes it look like the 3d objects are in the real world, by working out the correct view by using the servo motors angles. I want to have my live webcam feed in the background with my 3d renders on top. The way I saw it working in my head was to have the image somehow be converted to a Direct3D texture and have it displayed on a quad behind everything else. How would I: 1, Get an active image from the webcam 2, Render the image to a texture I want this to happen every frame, anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, sorry for my late reply I have been away for a couple of days.

Anyway, gaining the live feed from the webcam hasn't been a problem with DirectShow, so thanks for that. However I can't find any information on how to use the VMR9 filter, the example included in the DirectShow SDK is absolutly awful I have spent hours trying to understand that thing with no luck.

If its not too much to ask, could you maybe make the shortest example of how I would use VMR9 in my project? All I want is a Direct3D texture containing the current frame from the cam and I should be able to take it from there.

Thanks.
