CaptureViewport 2004-12-09 - By Javier

gracies jordi
if you got passes already set up why dont you use the ogl render
engine instead of capture for this, it would be simpler...would it
not?

There are few glitches in the capture when working thru scripting and
hopefully these are not that hard to overide (not all of them) but here
it goes a little thing.
This tiny tool does the capture of all those passes on your scene,
except those marked with and x or a y or a z as the last name. This is
a
way to do kinda work-in-progress so you can skip certain things you
don't want to show to the client. ;-)
if you turn bCapture to false, then you will just review ALL the passes
in a sequential way.
Simple but effective.

the pass solution, perhaps... i dont like it because the capture is different
from the manual one that we do on the first go around ( second or third
revisions, after timing is set i want to batch) but it seems to work in
principle --- now i gotta test it.
