The CameraTextureClient acts as bridge between a camera actor and a ScriptedTexture that is used to display what the camera sees. You only need one CameraTextureClient per camera as you can reuse the ScriptedTexture on multiple surfaces. Especially when using multiple cameras, it might be a good idea to create a ScriptedTexture in myLevel for each of the cameras.
