(...) <snip> (...) I'm not sure I 100% understand your goal(s), but I think what you need is: All white shading with all black edges. This way the (OpenGL) 'Z-Buffer' does all the hard work for you. Maybe travis could implement it in LDView, (or (...) (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) You are right that I can approximate it simply by making all the parts white (as shown). However, shaded white is not really white. Every angle of white reflecting to the camera is actually a different shade of gray. I really want no shading (...) (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Wow do I feel stupid. No, I hadn't tried that, and it works perfectly. It's still not a vector image, but at least it gets me to a good raster image in one step instead of five. It is a bit counter-intuitive to me that the way to get a good (...) (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

The "Show Edges Only" feature in LDView is intended to be used with Wireframe disabled. I believe it does exactly what you want in combination with "Black Edges": (URL) Note that the image above was saved with the "Transparent Background" check box (...)

(...) Hey, this is interesting. Is it actually just drawing the visible lines in some final rendering stage? Or is there more going on there with the Stencil and/or Depth buffer? (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) (FUT lugnet.cad.dev) I draw everything but the edge lines with glColorMask() set to all false. This updates the depth buffer, but doesn't update the color buffer. Edge lines are drawn with a standard glColorMask(). --Travis (13 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
