This will probably be possible at some point, but there are other very interesting reasons for multiple render targets - things like rendering to surfaces and textures that we are really looking forward to having.
indeed. this is very interesting stuff. in principle it allows you to run the entire image processing engine with offline buffers or textures on the gpu.
i tried some of these with 3dp 0.12 but got into some problems with glx. however, doing multipass rendering to a part of the window does work. it is fast and it is standard GL, and used in a lot of 3d apps. the only problem with this is that it only works if the render window is on top.
