I don't really need a VNC solution. At the moment it's for a single still render from a fixed camera.<br><br>So I just need a rendering engine that can run server side and save a JPEG or PNG. Anybody know any good ones?<br>

Hi Tony~<br>
<br>
good to hear you again!<br>
<br>
You might consider using a normal rendering engine and shipping
pixels with something like VirtualGL / TurboVNC; Sun took it pretty
far before the AQ.<br>
<br>
I am not sure exactly what libraries are used inside Paraview and
Visit 's remote rendering engines, but VT and the national labs are
doing this for sci-vis and HPC workflows.<br>

I mean: rendering. As in: generate an image from a model. The
input could be a Max file, or some other format like X3D or
COLLADA. Sorry for any confusion there.<br>

Do you mean rending as creating an image from
computer model (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_%28computer_graphics%29" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_%28computer_graphics%29</a>)

</div>
to what?<br>
<br>
X3D and collada are standard xml files so XSL can be
used (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xsl" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xsl</a>
