A system and method are provided for automatically capturing a graphics session so that the session can be subsequently re-created in a precise manner. In some embodiments, the image data by the rendering process is recorded and stored in a memory medium. The image data can then be used to re-create the images produced by the original rendering process. The image data can be collected through a connection at the graphics processing host, at the client computer from which the graphics session is controlled, or at an intermediate point. In other embodiments, the initial state of the graphics processing host is captured, where the initial state includes the graphics data to be rendered. In addition, commands sent to the graphics processing host to control the graphics session are also captured. These commands are typically sent by the client computer from which the session is controlled. By capturing both the initial state of the graphics processing host and the commands that manipulate the initial state, the graphics session itself is precisely captured. The session can then be re-created by applying the commands to the initial state of the graphics processing host. |
