I need to create a large image from a camera 2048,2048 how can i get the camera to write to an image buffer and not the backbuffer. Ive tried copyrect, but it only copies the size of the backbuffer (screen res)

Does this work? SetBuffer(ImageBuffer(img)) Then the camera will render to the image buffer.

You can only render to the BackBuffer in Blitz3D, and you can't make the backbuffer bigger than the screen. Render to texture has been a long-requested feature.
