Since I updated to version 5.11.0, I have the following problem: If applying the glyph filter, everything looks fine when zoomed out far away. But if I then zoom in, all of a sudden the coloring breaks down and it’s all black and white. Can somebody help me?

Your GPU is a 10 years old chipset, you do not have an actual GPU in your computer ?

Yeah, my laptop is really old, but it has worked fine until now. I just noticed that it works with lighting deactivated, but which makes it more difficult to inspect the data, though.

I’m afraid you are hitting the limit in terms of hardware support by ParaView.
