Is it possible to render out an object to an image file? They call this rendermap in XSI, not sure what it is called here. The goal is to use the power of Houdini shaders and texturing to render out a JPEG which would be brought back in to Houdini for rendering out to Torque.

I'm sorry, I have no idea of what a rendermap is but are you talking about ShaderUnwrapping?
