I am currently working on a website dedicated to visualizing the biological neurons found in animals. I have a comprehensive list of neuron names, and I use THREE JS to draw the neuron when the user clicks on its name. However, with hundreds of neurons to display, users have to click through each one to see its shape, which can be a time-consuming process. Is there a way to automatically generate thumbnails for each neuron and display them next to the neuron names? My idea is to virtually render all the neurons in the list, create thumbnails for each one, and save these images for easy access. Is there a method to accomplish this automatically?
I came across the Screen shots by THREE JS, but it requires the user to press the P button to take a screenshot, which then opens in a new tab without saving it.
Thank you for your help.
