Hello, since approximately one year I have a problem with the ViewCaptureToFile. It doesn’t support large sizes anymore properly. It still produces images in the required resolution, but it is not the specified view, but a modified view from “further away”, basically the maximum standard resolution with more background around it. In my case the maximum standard capture size is 32002400. If I specify the output scale 2, or give a custom size of 64004800 I get an output of that size, but the perspective is wrong. It’s still the same 32002400 image, but with a white border around it that extends to 6400*4800. This is new behaviour. I R7 ViewCaptureToFile used to work as intended. In R8 WIP it never worked for large resolutions. Since one update to R7 it doesn’t work there anymore, so I dont have a workaround.
I’m using a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU with a NVIDIA Studio Driver 551.23
Hi @ramonkarges1 ,
which displaymode are you using or does it not matter? Could you please also try the command “-viewcapturetofile” . Thanks
Hello Clemens, I tried “-viewcapturetofile” and it’s the same. It also shows this behaviour with all displaymodes, even wireframe.
Hi @ramonkarges1
Start by running SystemInfo in Rhino and posting the resulting text here. It could be a graphics card driver thing or a 3rd party plugin interfering. Can you repeat it even with a simple box?

I believe this is the same as RH-78375 View capture to file: custom resolution comes wrong, compared to render.
@nathanletwory it might be that it’s the same problem, but they were not able to reproduce it consistently. My problem should be easy to reproduce:
- Make screenshot of object using “viewcapturetofile” with the largest standard resolution that is offered.
-the result should match the named view - Make screenshot of object using “viewcapturetofile” using a custom resolution that is double of the largest standard resolution that is offered, or use the “Scale” checkbox Factor 2.
-the result probably differs from the named view
I was able to reproduce it even with a simple box.
