There is absolutely nothing to it. All you need is something like here:

MyMorph>>drawOn: aCanvas

	"--- initialize opengl ---"
	ogl ifNil:[
		ogl := OpenGL newIn: self bounds.
		ogl ifNil:[^super drawOn: aCanvas].
	] ifNotNil:[
		ogl bufferRect: self bounds.
	].

	"--- when not rendering to Display, draw last captured frame ---"
	aCanvas form == Display ifFalse:[
		^aCanvas drawImage: ogl screenShot at: bounds origin.
	].

	"--- otherwise do normal scene rendering ---"
	^self renderScene: ogl.
