[comp.sys.sgi] Render into memory instead of Screen?

ksung@cs.uiuc.edu (Kelvin Sung) (01/26/91)

Is there any way to use the graphics hardware on the SGI as a
rendering engine and not have any disaply on the screen?
More specifically, I wish to render my 3D geometric objects
into memory without dispalying anything. This is like the 
X-pixmap functionality. 

We have SGI-board on our IBM RS/6000, is the above functionality
achievable with our system?

Thanks for any help.
