[Papervision3D] Convert DisplayObject3D to Bitmap

[Anthony Cintron]

In my previous post, I don't think I asked an accurate question. 

I am really looking to add 100 DO3D's to a container. The DO3D's are Collada instances. I am wrapping them around each other making a shape of a circle. Each instance it is at a unique angle. Most importantly, I want to take each instance and convert them to bitmap data objects.

I don't understand why this is so complicated. I think, I'm suppose to handle this through view port, but I'm not sure how.

regards,

Then I stored each instance into a container which data type is of DisplayObject3D. I now want to loop through each item within container and convert it to a bitmap data object. I tried just changing the individual  property of an instance. That change was successful:
