Well, as a professional Industrial Designer, I must point out that while
technically, you are right that a better rendering doesn not improve a model,
what we are concerned with is not the model, but people's perception of the
model. A "nicer" rendering does in fact matter a great deal. You have no idea
how many great products have been killed in the early stages because the
designer presented a drawing that simply did not convey the idea well.

It *is* a question of perspective, not view angle... the fact is that LDraw &
Ldlite CANNOT render in perspective. They are strictly isometric projections
and offer no visual cues to determine scale, size, depth, or rotation, which
can be to the detriment of your presentation.

Anyway, I didn't mean to rant, and it's your choice. As a side note, Now that
I've developed a way to automate my POV renderings, you will soon see that
indeed, I have gone 100% POVray on my site. The new Pallas Spaceworks will not
contain any LDlite renderings (unless I can get someone to fix that feature in
LDlite so that I can include QuickTimeVR models :) )
Again, nice models!

| Thanks Karim. Regarding the POV-Ray... tried it... didn't like it. Anyway what's wrong with regular pics? I think they are fine. Anyway, regular pics = show model, POV-Ray = show model, make things "shiny". I mean, does better picture quality (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
