I love OpenSCAD, but can't understand why it's so slow rendering. The viewer does it's own perfect render fast enough to pan/zoom/rotate, but rendering to STL is painfully slow.
It would be great to be able to switch to a slicing mode for rendering.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoIt uses a different library for the final render and the OpenGL preview is often not perfect for complex geometry. The former is creating an actual watertight 3d model, the latter is just using z-order to simulate one.
- letstrynvm 8y agoRight... and also, as you increase the model complexity rendering correctness and speed take a dive to the point the preview render is unusable.
