What do frames mean? This term has many different concepts. What is meant is a separate buffer that is being drawn as if it is another rendering device, and then you can draw this buffer in a specific area of ​​the screen, completely independently of the other buffers? If so, yes. Called framebuffer (drawing in texture).

  • yes I also meant it - perfect
  • there was another extension, P-Buffer. Unlike the FrameBuffer (existing in the same context as drawing to the screen), this piece creates a full-fledged OpenGL context that renders into texture and is not dependent on state changes of the main context. It is older than FBO, but sometimes more useful. - allcreater
