Hello
I have been using paraview 3.98 for getting vectorial images (and it seems to work fine!).
Why was this feature removed? Is there anyway to get vector images in newer versions of paraview?
Can this feature be reinstated and optional to the user?
Kind regards

VTK removed the vector 3D rendering support a long time ago.
I’m afraid It will not come back.
