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,

Paul
