Irrlicht Engine

Greetings. I'm new to Irrlicht and was wandering if this was possible.

The Shadow tutorial is excellent and it's awesome that all Irrlicht needs is a call to addShadowVolumeSceneNode(). What I need to do however is try and render the resulting shadow to a bitmap (or other image format) and save it.

Is this possible in Irrlicht and if so, can anyone suggest what I start to look at to figure it out?

Thanks for any help.

Is Irrlicht not capable of doing this?

I need this Feature for making a kind of binoculars

I dont think irrlicht is capable of this.... but im just curious.... what would you need this feature for?

Thanks for the reply folks.

In answer to your question though, I'm using it to create images of a shadow, that will be added to another engine as a 'fake stencil shadow'. I was just looking for a means of writing an efficient tool to create the images from animated models. Irrlicht has excellent support for varied formats. It's a great engine.

Thanks again.
