  Re: How would you do it?
 
(...) You can use many lights, and still have a single shadow by making all lights but one 'shadowless' (a modifier to the POV light description). I often put a (not too bright) shadowless light at the same position as the camera, to make sure (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: How would you do it?
 
It looks to me like each model / row of models was rendered in POV-Ray individually and then PhotoShopped together. Probably removed any reflections when combined on to one image. Scott (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: How would you do it?
 
(...) Hi Larry, I'm not much of a POV expert, but it looks to me like Jeroen used a single light source (I only see one shadow per model). I'd guess the light source is very far away (to simulate sunlight) because all the shadows cast proportionate (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  How would you do it?
 
A long time ago, Jeroen kindly rendered this image for me in POVRay (URL) the source got lost. Now I need it much much larger so I'm trying to recreate it. I am all the way there (all models positioned right, etc) except for the lighting/shadows. (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)  
 
  Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc
 
(...) The bug in LDView means that any sloped bricks that have LGEO versions won't work if they use a color not directly supported by LGEO. Your model used color 0x6FFFFFF (which is transparent full white) for at least one brick that contained a (...) (13 years ago, 26-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc
 
Travis, cool, many thanks, will be able to test the file tomorrow. What can I do within LDraw to avoid this prob in future times? Thx, adrian (13 years ago, 26-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc
 
(...) I got your email, tracked down the problem, and sent you a link to a test LDView build. Thanks again. For reference, LDView was referring to sloped brick faces using LGEO's _slope variant of the color even when the color wasn't a color (...) (13 years ago, 26-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc
 
(...) You're welcome. I got the POV files, and responded (via email) that I needed the original LDraw file in order to debug LDView. It would seem that you didn't get my email reply. --Travis (13 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi Travis, thanks for your offer, I sent you the file yesterday evening (european time :-) ). cheers, adrian (13 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc

Hi, I tried the installation, works fine, but get same error as with the tip of Larry: "No matching in 'material', undeclared identifier 'LDXColor117440511_slope'" Any idea? Thx, adrian (13 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Another approach (not necessarily better, but if you have a mostly working installation already you may prefer it, especially if your directory layout is non standard) is to go get the LGEO libs and then hand modify your master POVRAY.ini file (...)
