The task is to have a render of the scene proper, then, another from 
possibly another point of view showing additional things: Axis, a camera 
place holder, thin cylinders showing the camera's field of view, the 
location of the various lights with cones showing spot_light 
illumination area, some informative text,...

This requires a new parsing of the scene.

It's not possible possible using clockless or real time animation as 
those require that the only change is the camera.
