Create WPF element offscreen and render to bitmap

RenderTargetBitmap and Viewport3D - Quality Issues

The obvious way to do this would be to use RenderTargetBitmap -- however when I this the quality of the exported bitmap is significantly lower than the on-screen image.

Use WPF in combination with Hardware Rendering instead of RenderTargetBitmap

Hi all, The WPF application I have build has a Viewport3D containg all kinds of UIElement3D objects. Now I would like to save a high resolution snapshot of a certain view to a file.
