I’d like something like that too. Although I don’t think there’s currently
anything that will make the whole instructions for you, Bricksmith’s “Export
Steps” option may be a useful start. It creates a separate LDraw file for
each step in your model (or each submodel thereof) representing the model up
to that point. Then you could render each step file with L3P. I’ve thought of
writing a script to help do that, but it’s pretty far back on my queue.

yes, I just thought the export option of Bricksmith just would generate
pictures, but ended up with single step LDRs. They are of use for rendering,
indeed. makes still some work...

Otherwise I guess you could just take a bunch of screenshots.

Yes, I have done as a bypass so far.

I’ve observed the same problem with ldglite on my Intel Mac. However, I just
realized that although there are display problems, it works fine from the
command line! Based on the notes in the ldglite.txt readme, try something
like this:
/path/to/ldglite.app/Contents/MacOS/ldglite -i2 -mS /path/to/model.ldr
The -i2 option generates PNGs with transparent backgrounds and -mS saves
an image for every step without opening a window. Cool!

Ah, thanks. I’ll try that and see.
