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 [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=164243#p164243][http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=17278&p=164260&]. Equally, a typical FlightGear GUI front-end will usually require a way for previewing aircraft 3D models. | 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 [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=164243#p164243][http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=17278&p=164260&].

Currently, we cannot use Canvas for any of these use-cases because there's no way to load 3D models. | |||
