Oh, I always wanted to do the same thing! The CamShader
I haven't done much with channel shaders yet, so I can only explain how I think it would work. My idea would be to implement a channel shader that actually works like a refraction. So you get the ray that comes from the active camera and hits the object's surface, and you kinda reroute the ray so it shoots out of the second camera. The math should be rather easy, I *think*.
Really I think the calculation should work almost like a refraction (or reflection).
Cheers,

In what context do you want to get the pixels, in a shader, post effect etc.?

I didn't finish it though...i took a camera (or an other object) and spawned new rays from those coordinates

Why didn't you finish it? Would you be willing to share your code?

I didn't have the time to finish it, and wasn't able to reproduce the focal options of the camera at that time. Here is a part of the code

That is very close to the direction my code was going but the result was always black. In my case though, I was trying to get the camera 'rays' so that the camera options would be already considered. If your code works, that'll be a step in the correct direction.
Thanks,

I also notice that this is very close to Per Anders' solution for a camera shader but it was restricted to the active render camera. Were you ever able to work this with *any* camera? That's the main problem for me.

Okay. That works basically - you should have mentioned that Matrix m = cam->GetMg() but that makes sense.

ah, yes m is the Camera Matrix, but in my code it doesn't have to be a camera it may be any object.
