      would it be possible for a ruby script to export shadows from a model as a jpeg but ignoring the actual geometry data ...

      so on the jpeg all you would have is the shadow from the model ...

        You can do it with a style setting:
        Monochrome Mode display, edges off, background and foreground color set to white, shadows on.

            That is a known bug unfortunately.

            The way around is to make a style and set it to "Display Shaded Using All Same". Then turn front an back face default color to white in this style.

            There was another workaround too, but I forgot it. Seemed like it was a little better for some reason.....

            Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.
