Rendering a 3D character inside a GUI inventory

[Neirdan]

Consider we're in a 3D game, like any nowadays RPG
When you open the inventory, I want to display the 3D character model (that you could spin to see your clothes).

How would one proceed to achieve that?

It's quite hard to describe so here's a mockup:

Create a scene with the character in it, render the scene to a texture, use the texture on a button, or whatever gui element takes an image. Look at the RTT example.
