Hi

I am trying to figure out how to extract the the frames or grab an image from the active viewport in Motion Builder. Till now I have not got anything in the OR SDK which lets me do that. I have looked inside the Camera class and the Scene class but am not getting any method which lets me grab the scene onto a texture or an image.
Any help regarding this or a suggested wor around will be really appreciated.

Hi Neill

Thanks for the reply.
I just want to grab whatever is visible in the current viewport or from the current camera.
I am trying to skip the time taken to re render it again.
I am a noob to the SDK and cannot find any method in the fbrenderer class which will allow me to grab the frame buffer. I am sure such a basic functionality will be present in the SDK, but I am just not being able to find it.
It will be of great help if you could give me a little bit more of a direction

If someone can show me how to grab the framebuffer with some code sample, I will be greatly appreciated.

I have wrote about it on the Area branch - http://area.autodesk.com/for...buffer-from-the-viewport/

The same thing can be done using OpenReality SDK.
