According to this page they've made quite a few GLUT fixes. http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1229.html I'm not sure what effect they'll have, if any. Meanwhile I finally managed to find some code examples for offscreen rendering with OpenGL on a Mac. I have no idea if it works or not (probably not) but if anyone wants to try it out, I built an executable and put it here: http://ldglite.sf.net/ldgliteosx0_9_5g.zip To render offscreen you use -MS on the ldglite command line, eg. ldglite -v3 -l3 -i1 -MS mymodel.mpd Now that I think about it, I'm not sure how many Mac users would want an offscreen command line oriented renderer, but I just hate to give extra goodies to some platforms, and not others.
