There are several scenarios where we cannot currently use Canvas because we're lacking a means for rendering a 3D model to a texture - omega95 once mentioned that some modern avionics are increasingly using 3D representations<ref>[http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=164243#p164243]</ref><ref>[http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=17278&p=164260]</ref>.
