You could try to use a tool that allows for automatizing screenshots of OpenGL content. -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/Black-dumped-images-tp17718p17783.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Another option could be to see how it works with the Mesa software OpenGL renderer. OpenSCAD does not use much of the GPU hardware features anyway, so it might be still usable. It should be possible to find precompiled versions of the Mesa OpenGL.dll which should work by just dropping it into the folder where OpenSCAD is installed (It's possible to swap the system dll too, but of cause that could impact other programs). ciao, Torsten.

There is no precompiled version of mesa.dll in the Mesa3D site. I found many sites with mesa.dll to be downloaded. But it seems that some of those files are malware. Any pointer to a tool that allows for automatizing screenshots of OpenGL content will be welcome. 2016-06-21 14:15 GMT-03:00 Torsten Paul <Torsten.Paul@gmx.de>: > Another option could be to see how it works with the Mesa software OpenGL > renderer.
