- Curve smoothing in POV-Ray exports.

This feature alone is awesome (and way better than mesh enhancer). Thanks
for the hard work.

You’re welcome. For many people, this will be the premier feature of LDView
4.1. I intended to include it in LDView 4.0, but decided it was better to
get the release out instead of delaying it just for that. It was not an easy
feature to implement.

P.S. Any plans to build in support for 3rd party POV part libraries (i.e.
LGEO, Anton, etc...)?

LGEO support is already there (via the LGEO.xml file in the installer). In
the POV Export options dialog, check the “Use XML mapping file” option.
Then, either leave the path field blank (to default to LGEO.xml in LDView’s
install directory) or browse to LGEO.xml yourself. Some people have
customized their LGEO.xml (and hopefully saved under a different filename,
since I think the installer will overwrite LGEO.xml) to use Anton parts in
certain places. However, that requires a POV-coded wrapper for each part,
since Anton’s parts are specified in POV files as a function call, where LGEO
parts aren’t, and LDView currently only supports the LGEO way of doing
things.

Oh dear... I hope I did this.
I should add for Orion that it’s quite trivial to add parts in whatever library
you choose, especially if you make use of header files to do a lot of the mass
declares etc. It really is a fantastic conversion system and I’ve not looked at
l3p since using Travis’ earliest alphas of the conversion.
