Yes, check out CARenderer. This will require some knowledge of
OpenGL to do it completely correctly. See rendering to a framebuffer:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/graphicsimaging/Conceptual/OpenGL-MacProgGuide/opengl_offscreen/opengl_offscreen.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001987-CH403-SW7
After creating and rendering to the framebuffer using CARenderer,
you can pull out the contents of the frame buffer and create a
CGImage from that. Make sure you get your alpha [pre]multiplication
correct.
Thank for the tips. I'm an other developer which want to render CA
in an OpenGL texture, and my main concern is more about using the
very poorly documented CARenderer than setting up OpenGL.
For example there is absolutely no doc about what the OpenGL Context
state should be (viewport, transform), and what state may be
affected by the rendering.
Do you know where we can find any sample code, short snippet, or
explanation about how it should be used ?
I managed to get some interesting result using the following
sequence but I have no idea if this is the correct way to do it:
– beginFrameAtTime:timeStamp
– addUpdateRect:
– render
– endFrame
Thanks.
