Since it seems a matter of great concern to some of us, let me reiterate once
more NO LEGO was harmed, cut or chopped by me to make any creation, not now or
in the future. (Though when I was younger I was guilty of biting the
sideburns off of minifig hair to change the look and breaking the ends off of
space guns to make smaller, more normal looking guns.)
Chuck,
Once you free your mind of all that you cannot do, you'll be surprised by
what you can do. The programs you create your models in, I use LDraw/LEdit
(to create), MLCAD (to view from all angles), L3Lab (to create POV files) and
POV render the finished creation, allow you the freedom to make just about
anything you want, limited only by your patience and imagination. I can't
believe that I'm first person to see that you can do these things with these
programs, I've only been using them about a month and only figured out POV in
the last week and a half to two weeks.
