LDView 4.0 Beta 1 is now available for download from the LDView downloads page
here:
http://ldview.sourceforge.net/Downloads.html
This is a Beta release, which means that I’m hoping to get as much feedback as
possible. This also means that it is likely not as stable as a final release, so
you probably don’t want to try it out if you absolutely hate using buggy
software.
Some notable changes:
- Basic support for steps. (Basic means that rotations and buffer exchanges aren’t supported.)
- POV export support (including LGEO support with separate XML file*).
- MPD sub-model selection.
- Model tree view.
- SMP-aware for conditional edges and sorted transparency.
- Native Cocoa version for Mac.
* LGEO exports require you to download the following file (which will be
included in the final release):
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ldview/LGEO.xml?download
Put the file in the same directory as your LDView executable, and make sure to
check the “Use XML mapping file” option in the POV export options. This will
only work with the latest version of LGEO, although I can provide an XML mapping
file that works with older LGEO versions if there is a demand.
Please see the full change history
here.
Please send any bugs, suggestions, or other feedback to ldview@gmail.com. As mentioned above, the main reason for this release is to
get feedback so that the official release will be as high-quality as possible.

This is a big update. I heartily recommend you give it a try, especially if you
are working with LPub or using a Mac (or both). Travis has made some great
additions to the program.

I second that. I’ve been using it for all my latest renders and it’s eliminated
almost all hand-editing of POVray files. Top stuff!

Bravo!
Thank you very much for the great improvement! Although not specifically listed,
it fixed several bugs the older versions had for me. The background color chart
always appeared in the background and the preferences menu never disappeared
once you clicked okay. The new version just runs fine! And the step by step
rendering function is really spot-on! Thank you for your great effort providing
us with this new program!
Cheers,
