  Re: "Glowing" Lights in POV-RAY (2nd attempt)
 
Two things, First, I noticed that your ambient value for the glow color was 2.0. This promots to a color vector of <2.0,2.0,2.0> The largest legal color vector is <1.0,1.0,1.0>. I suggest you drop the ambient value to 1.0. Second, I noticed that you (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: "Glowing" Lights in POV-RAY (2nd attempt)
 
(...) A couple of things to try?--(dunno if these will work)-- - Put a point light source inside the 1x1 cylinder brick atop the staff and crank its luminosity up to (10,10,10). Then tweak that gradually downward since it'll probably be too bright. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: New Part : Pirate Peg Leg
 
(...) I've not got a strong affection for "Minifig Leg Wooden", so am happy for this to get amended at the voting stage, if necessary. "Minifig Leg Pegleg" is fine too. Regarding cones, well yes I could have used four 1-4con4 primitives for the (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part : Pirate Peg Leg
 
Hi! OK, this is a really petty/minor nitpick, but I think that the first line should read "Minifig Leg Pegleg" (and not "Minifig Leg Wooden"). Also, if I may ask, why didn't you use any of the "cone" primitives? (I'm still learning this stuff (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
