I currently have 3 cameras active in my game.

I have the requirement to cull objects for the individual Frustums of each camera.

How does one disable an object for one camera, but have it enabled for another camera?

Unfortunately, you don't, at least until the GDK gets the latest updates - there's a DBPro command called 'SET OBJECT MASK' that works in the same way as dbSyncMask (or SYNC MASK in DBPro) but for individual objects.

It looks like there is already internal code that does some sort of Frustum culling for each camera.
There is a unique situation where one of my cameras should only ever see one object, and I felt that if I pre-culled for this camera, then it could save some CPU time.

I will just have to wait until the next revision of Dark GDK gets released.

Thanks for the release update and equivalent commands info.
