[x3d-public] Render to Texture node

Mon Nov 14 12:16:21 PST 2016

x3dom has

http://doc.x3dom.org/author/Texturing/RenderedTexture.html

instantreality has

http://doc.instantreality.org/documentation/nodetype/RenderedTexture/?filter=None

castle-engine also has

http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/x3d_implementation_texturing_extensions.php#section_ext_rendered_texture

xj3d has

http://www.xj3d.org/extensions/render_texture.html

but x3d does not seem to have it ?

I think mirrors could perhaps use

http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/env_texture.html#GeneratedCubeMapTexture
