Looks Great Todd!! and I like how you did those chess pieces!  Yes I
have to admit, L3P is a great prg! Lars did a good job on it!
I like the fact that you don't have to have the piece in the .inc files
to use pov with it, you can use all the parts currently in ldraw!

Someone got some hints on better camera views though? I'm having one
hell of a time adjusting the camera to get the shots I really want. I
would use l3pao, though it doesn't seem to want to save the file after I
get it all set up how I want :( and when I go to change the background
color if I put a 3 digit number in there I get some error and it closes
down. I think it was error 15?

Thanks for any help!

I gotta say, Lars Hassing has created a truly amazing piece of work!  The
download only took a few seconds, the install only a couple minutes, and to my
amazement (because software rarely performs this effortlessly out of the box)
within 10 minutes I had myself a genuine POV data file representing some chess
pieces modeled in LEdit.  L3P is so cool.  It just works.  I didn't even have
to adjust the default camera angle or light sources.  (I did tweak the colors
some, though.)

Anyway, now my computer has things to chew up spare CPU cycles with while I do
other things.  :)

Here are the chess pieces:

Anyone else made chess sets out of LEGO?  I'd love to see them!
