My boss just asked me to render one of my scenes at 2048x2048 and capture
it to a file. Screen res wise, my Onyx IR only goes to 1900x1200 (bummer :).
Is there a way in Performer I can render off-screen into memory and then
write that out to a file? Maybe using SGI P-buffers or something?

Thanks,
tom
