Really?  Did you make use of explicit actor interaction?  By default,
only the camera is moved and since you WANTED to see the same object
from different angles, splitting your pipelines before the mappers
should not have been a problem.  Obviously, if you really were
interacting with the separate actors as well as moving the camera,
you're right.

Splitting before a texture always works.  The same texture is uploaded
twice, but at least it's cached from then onwards.

Yes, I did meant before the mappers. :)
