For sometime we need to render an image to the clients.

I don't mean to make an bmp file, which I know how to.
Can we just get the memory of a screenshot of the running scene, and then I can deal with the memory(for example DIB) as I need.

For OpenGL, see glReadPixels. I have negative experiences with it, it seemed that it has some torsion compared to PrintScreen. To solve this (under Windows), you have to create your pixel format in a special way, that enables you to render without actually having a window. So it's difficoult, and you have to seriously modify Irrlicht. What's more, I am quite unsure how it works with DX, and what to do with Linux.

I have found a ScreenShotManager in this forum. Never tested it...
Do a search...
