Yeah, I have yet to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do with
ImageMagic. I ftp'ed it down and unzipped it. Couldn't find an
"install program" of any kind (setup.* install.*, nothing), mainly
just a lot of other .exe files and some random junk that I assume are
for those with C++ compilers.
Told LDAO where I unzipped IM, get some kind of KPLogic error (will
post the exact error when I get to work).
I was afraid it was my fault for downloading the smaller of the two
files in the directory the link goes to, but I downloaded the 11 meg
file last night and see virtually no differences aside from a bunch of
included images and a make.com, which doesn't seem to do me any good.
I was pretty hyped yesterday. Grabbed all the LDraw files and
updates, LDlite, LDAO, L3P, Pov-Ray. Got almost everything working,
even added the L3P buttons to LDAO via the ldraw.ini file. Rendered
several files at 1024x768 AA (not too slow on my 400). Then decided
to dl ImageMagick to try to make instructions as a test and WHAM!
brick wall. :(
Oh well, it'll be a bit before I need to make instructions for MOC's
anyway, so I'm sure I'll figure it out. LDlite is sure making me long
for a Windows LEdit, though. :)
