/*
This tutorial shows how to render to a texture using Irrlicht. Render to texture is a feature with which
it is possible to create nice special effects. In addition, this tutorial shows how to enable specular
highlights.

In the beginning, everything as usual. Include the needed headers, ask the user for the rendering
driver, create the Irrlicht Device:

	don't use sizes bigger than the frame buffer for this, because the render target shares
	the zbuffer with the frame buffer. And because we want to render the scene not from the
	user camera into the texture, we add another, fixed camera to the scene. But before we
