[vtkusers] Offscreen rendering question

[Cory Quammen]

What version of VTK are you using? Older versions used software
rendering to do offscreen rendering, which explains the performance
hit you are seeing. The version in CVS supports offscreen rendering in
hardware, assuming your hardware supports it, so you shouldn't see a
performance decrease.

But as soon as i call OffScreenRenderingOn() in vtkOpenGlWin32RenderWindow the Render()- method needs more than ten times longer than in OnScreenRendering mode.
