Hi @rdb I have a user that is trying to do offscreen rendering in just the way I wanted to in this post, except they are running locally on Windows. They are encountering the following error:
Known pipe types:
wglGraphicsPipe
(all display modules loaded.)
:display(warning): FrameBufferProperties available less than requested.
requested: depth_bits=1 color_bits=3 red_bits=1 green_bits=1 blue_bits=1 alpha_bits=1 back_buffers=1 force_hardware

My initial thought was for them to try out the panda3d builds you made, however I’m noticing the builds are Linux only (Index of /downloads/f5d5340ad314cf36ed4426292beeffb4aa53cf73). Do you know if a Windows build would fix their issue, or do you have any recommendations on how to resolve this? They are working on a master’s thesis and are trying to get some last minute features in.
