Jon --
Those are very cool!
One question -- what did you use to make the renderings appear more like
drawings? Did I just fall out of the loop and not hear about something or is
this a new way to do CAD designs? If I could make my creations look
something like that, I might just have to get myself into virtual building....!

Glad you like em.
I used Mega Pov to do the renders. Its an addition to Pov Ray. Once I was
ready to render I added a command to have the program draw lines along all
the edges. Here's the command line I used:
global_settings {
post_process {
find_edges {
1, .3, 0, 1.1, 1, rgb 0
}
}
}
You'll want your model to be lit up very well, and the lines seem to look
best at high resolutions. I did all these at 1600x 1200. Also the LGEO parts
don't look as good due to the rounded nature of their edges. I also get
better results with no floor.
Hope that helps!

FYI... Anyone rendering the Shiva motorcycle or anything using the 4x7x2
rounded windscreen needs to grab a copy of an updated part. It gets rid of
those "faceted" edges on the curved surfaces.

By the way Jon, thanks for the info on MegaPov, I wondered how that was done.
Happy rendering,

Minor correction. This shoud be:
#version unofficial MegaPov 0.6; // version number may be different
global_settings {
post_process {
find_edges {
1, .3, 0, 1.1, 1, rgb 0
}
}
}
That should work.
