Hi,
I was just wondering,
Does a utility exist (either for .Dat or .Dxf or .Pov) that automatically
eliminates all polygons that are not visible?
I thought this might cut rendering time in POVray, and I'm trying to export
*.dat files to other platforms so that I might create a game or simulation.
Reducing the number of polygons would make this feasable.
Also, any tips that you might have on reducing the number of polygons
manually would be appreciated. LDraw parts have such great shapes, but
they're such render-hogs!
Thanks!

| [moved to lugnet.cad.dev] (...) There's no such utility for DAT. I know of a few utilities/test programs that are close to this ability, but that's not what they were written for. I don't know about DXF. For POV, you can't drop hidden polygons, (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
