How familiar are you with object graphics? To do this
automatically will take some modifications to the code.
Basically, the TVRD() functionality is to use the IMAGE_DATA
keyword to the object graphics window that the scene is
rendered in. It might be a 10 minute job, if you understand
object graphics at all. Otherwise, 10 days, probably. :-)

VRML!? Wasn't that popular in the 1980s? There used
to be a way to do that in IDL. I'd have to look it up.

Cheers,
