Using overlays to write on texture

[xrgo]

Hello! Ogre 2.1
I want to write simple dynamic text on 2 different textures. I want to use the overlay system because it seems simple enough...
What I had in mind is:
I have 2 workspaces, that renders nothing to a different texture each, but with overlays true. I create 2 overlaySystem and put my texts there.
The problem is that it seems that the overlays are associated with the sceneManager, do I need to have 2 sceneManagers to achieve this? can I use one different overlaySystem per workspace?

Thanks!

The overlay system has enough technical debt accumulated, so it's working a bit "hacky". I don't know if the OverlaySystem is actually respecting the RenderQueue groups and/or the visibility masks. If it is, you could use that to control what is rendered where.

Otherwise, the easiest hack that could work is a workspace listener that enables and disables the right overlays when it's time to render them in a pass. Using two SceneManagers sounds overkill to me.

thanks! I'll try =)
