[SOLVED] Render only one frame and other questions

Update: another way to get a screenshot of a rendered image, but directly in-memory instead of writing it to a file. You need to use PNMImage:

    def renderToPNM(self):
        ### RENDER IMAGE
        # Render the frame
        self.base.graphicsEngine.renderFrame()

        ### FETCHING THE RENDERED IMAGE
        # Prepare the variable that will store the frame image (in a PNMImage class, this is NOT a file format, but a convenient image manipulation class offered by Panda3D)
        image = PNMImage()
        # Set display region to the default
        dr = base.camNode.getDisplayRegion(0)
        # Store the rendered frame into the variable screenshot
        dr.getScreenshot(image)

        return image
