  Re: POV-RAY question
 
Actually, I can't really get that to work from inside a transparent plat/tile. It will sortof light up, but not nearly bright enough, and I can't find any way to adjust the brightness. I guess that's the biggest problem that I have. Then, with the (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: POV-RAY question
