I think that really when planning the simulation to select parameters that 
will be needed in the future for postprocessing. It is clear that in the 
future if I want to work only with the Voronoi cells, I need only to save 
these values and nothing more. And in the future I always be able to 
visualize this Voronoi cells and see it from a new angle (clipping plane, 
color scheme, etc...). (By the way, not necessarily to save velocity. It can 
be obtained from two consecutive positions snapshots.). 
In doing so, off-screen rendering sounds fine and in this case: you can 
configure a new look and also start to render the scene in background.
If I will have to set camera only before the simulation, I will have to set 
_all_ cameras (all foreshortening, clipping planes, color shemes).To me, this 
is not so easy... In my opinion, it is better to separate the simulation and 
visualization. How do you think?
