Printing w/tubes

[Footleg]

Because the Aven 3d model is not rendered using any perspective, there are
no parallax problems when panning the image. So as long as you do no scale
or rotate between screen grabs, you can take several screen shots of
different parts of the model and rejoin them all together in an image
editor. I've used this method in the past to generate a bitmap of an
elevation view which was 3 screen widths wide in total.
