Thanks so much Samuel. Can you tell me what that layer is so I can start looking?

Of course it can, it's just that scene graph uses OpenGL ES 2 and not QPainter, so if you want to change how the scene graph rendering is finally done you need to hook in at the OpenGL library level (or with a proxying library), similar to how ANGLE is used on Windows to proxy OpenGL commands into Direct3D.

Well, outside of QPA / OpenGL scene graph also has its own adaptation layer where you can make a custom renderer, so maybe that would be a better place to do this kind of thing.
