[Paraview] x3d geometry export garbled?

[Cook, Rich]

I already had remote rendering disabled.  If I don't, then I very short files with nothing in them.  Just double-checked to make sure.

Ah. I wonder if that has something to do with remote rendering. Let's try disabling remote rendering and then export the state. Can you try this:

+ from Edit | Settings dialog (on Mac, I believe this is under the ParaView menu itself), open the "Render VIew" page and select "Server" page. There, uncheck "Remote Render Threshold" (image attached). Now all rendering will happen locally on the client side.

+ Now try and export the X3D (you may want to interact with the  just to make sure that a render happens before you export the x3d state). Any change?

Yep.
I understand about SC.  Let me catch you up to save some time.
In summary, when I render x3d objects from paraview that are exported from scenes rendered in serial, everything is fine.  But when rendering in parallel in ParaView, the x3d exporter hoses the colors AFAICT.

I've attached a screen shot of what your "sphere" looks like in a simple scene in blender.

Rich,

As Berk mentioned in another email, several members of the ParaView
development team were at SuperComputing last week. Since there are
several emails floating around about X3D, and I am not a very good
summarizer of emails, I am not sure where things stand, so let's start
at the start.

I've attached a simple X3D output generated from the attached ParaView
state file (for ParaView 4.1.0-RC1). I don't have much experience with
Blender and hence haven't been able to show the result as expected in
Blender. But if you don't mind, can you try loading the X3D file to
see if it renders as expected (ParaView rendered image attached)? It's
a very simple geometry with 5 points colored with 5 different colors.
Let's try to see if the exported X3D file is bad in the first place.
Just looking at the file, the contents seem reasonable to me.
