Hi Trystan, Have a look at :
Image::readImageFromCurrentTexture(..) You'd need to call this from the graphics thread that has you've have render to the texture from - for instance using a Camera Post or FinalDrawCallback. After this readImage you could do the writeImageFile as well to ensure that the correct ordering is maintained. Calling writeImageFile() after the viewer.frame() will only work in SingleThreaded and CullDrawThreadPerContext threading models as the other threading models have the graphics thread still running after the return form viewer.frame().
