Well, all I care about is the area being displayed, and that's 2D. The 
entire 3D magic happens in the math engine, before the bitmap is 
constructed.

I would be content to run the app in two separate modes: display (show 
the scene on the screen, no movie file generated) and render (generate a 
movie file, nothing is displayed). I guess that shouldn't be too 
complicated, right?
