About screenshot

[BlackMojito]

Hi Folks,

I am reading the documentation https://doc.babylonjs.com/how_to/render_scene_on_a_png. But in my case, if I just want to take a simple screenshot, is there anyway to do it directly using html5 APIs?  I know that we have drawImage function but it seems to be used only for 2d canvas. How can I do it then?

Thanks

Sorry but I do not understand your issue since you can use `BABYLON.Tools.CreateScreenshot(engine, camera, 400);` as stated on the docs page above. You could trigger it with a key press at any stage.

Also Babylon.js renders its 3D model onto a 2D canvas and CreateScreenshot uses drawImage to capture the rendering. What is it you are trying to do where CreateScreenshot will not work for you?

I just read the source code and yes CreateScreenshot calls internally drawImage...
