Currently I have a bone system that does its deformation on the GPU, but at certain points I would like to export that mesh to a file in its deformed state.
Although it would be easy re-implement and just always do that code on the CPU, I would really like to keep it in the GPU.
Is it possible to do this?
I can imagine writing out the mesh to a texture in ortho camera space and then make that texture available on the cpu, but there would always be the problem of when verts line up directly on top of each other.
Thoughts, comments?
Thanks
