(...) Since L3P is released only every four years or so, it shouldn't be a problem :-) /Lars (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I guess we would have to work with Lars on that. Because your app is in Delphi, I would be interested in the syntax you develop. Implementing on different platforms is not as big of a deal in my opinion. I am mostly interested in this because (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I've been thinking a lot about that. I think you can find a couple of threads here if you perform a search on "post-processing" or "post-processor". But... What if a futureversion of L3P has some new improvement and changes the syntax of the (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) That is what I was going to do too. (...) I guess what I was thinking was exporting a file that could either be povray format, a format that l3p could convert (preserving unions, macros, etc), or a format that I would use with Anton's library (...)

(...) Thanks for the response. Just a qiuck reply, got to go back to work... LDA outputs both .dat files for the indiviual frames but also one master .dat that has references to the single-frame files, separated by CLEAR and STEP. L3P supports (...)

(...) Tore, I think I know what you could do that would meet even my needs. Here is my idea. Output one pov-ray file. Have it export valid pov-ray format using unions, macros, clocks, switches, ranges, etc. Then, with that, it will be easy to add (...)
