  Re: Light is too bright!
 
(...) I notice you're using white as the color for light.dat. Since L3P pays attention to the color of the light, you can use a much darker shade of gray. The following was done with a light inside the trans red brick with a color of 0x02141414 (...) (17 years ago, 25-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: Light is too bright!
 
(...) Wow! Thank you! I didn't know that. I tried some different options, and found that the "black" light (color 0, which isn't really black) surpringly produced the best balance between taillights noticably on and not spreading too much red light (...)

  Re: Light is too bright!
 
(...) In my 1998 Christmas picture (URL) (go to the end of the page) I hand adjusted the lights (one inside each candle) quite a bit. One important part was the material settings (Color46_t), as the clear L3P parts are much *too* clear. Most of the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: New POV-dat: 3062bL46.dat - Brick 1 x 1 Round Yellow with POV Light
 
(...) Sorry, don't have the time to make models right now. I am currently writing a program to automatically create dat files of "shining" parts. I call it datshine.exe and I am very excited over it. Well, here's one quite strange model I rushed (...) (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: New POV-dat: 3062bL46.dat - Brick 1 x 1 Round Yellow with POV Light
 
(...) It depends. Do you want the light to act more like it would through LEGO parts or do you want it to imitate a real car's headlights...? Anyway, the choice the user's. All you have to do is write the spotlight definitions ans run it through (...) (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: New POV-dat: 3062bL46.dat - Brick 1 x 1 Round Yellow with POV Light
 
(...) Exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for to "lighten up" my space crafts. Question: How do I develop my own files? I can't seem to get the datshine102.exe to work. Even if I have to hand code them into the .ldr files, I'll be happy. (16 years ago, 6-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
