[Paraview] Export scene creates images without actual object

[Schlottke-Lakemper, Michael]

Hi Armin, 

Thanks for the hint! We are using the legacy OpenGL backend client-side. Server-side I don't know since it was pre-installed on the system I'm using. Is there a way for me to check how the pvserver was compiled or is it only dependent on the client anyways?

IIRC there was problem with "Export Scene" and the new OpenGL2 backend.
This has been discussed on the mailing-list several times, see e.g.:
https://www.mail-archive.com/paraview@paraview.org/msg25912.html

Hope this helps!
