Alright, I am just looking to be pointed in the right direction to achieve this, but I am looking to render an object to an image but I want to do this while having a scene setup,

I want to possibly (if effiecient) render this object only to a seperate camera offscreen that the user cannot see, and grab the image from that camera and use it within my game, I am taking a crack at the camera commands, but I am not exactly sure of how to render only a certain object without moving it to some obsecure position or how to hide a camera when not in use, instead of deleting it and recreating


Making dreams possible, one line at a time...

You can mask certain objects by tweaking some internal DirectX data.
Use this function to set an object to just be visible in a specific camera:



The dwMask parameter is a Bit value telling the object in what camera it is visible (use the same value like in the dbSyncMask() command).

You can also render to a single camera:


Also, dbSetCameraToImage() can come in useful for what you are doing.
