Hi, I found one way to get a JPEG image from a 3D Canvas was to extend the Canvas3D module, using the class Raster to get a screan dump of the active screen. This seems very dodgy method, is there a better way of getting a dump of what is currently shown and save to JPEG.. Our hope is to be able to create a) 2D images and b) rotate the image arround crating a animation.. Any help would be helpfull..
