Hi Jay; If you want to adjust the "look at point" you can actually select one of your peices in a model. Look at it's co-oridnates in the Model Part List (top right window). Then put these exact co-ordinates into the "look at" point... You will be (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I assume you're actually referring to the "P"-numbers (i.e., the numbers _after_ the letter "P", to indicate which pattern is being used). Most of these have been organized (mostly by Chris Dee, the infamous minifig torso designer ;-) to be (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi, You actually don't have to understand much about POV-RAY to use it. Just download L3P. You run that to covert the.dat file to a .pov. Then, you just open the file in the POV-RAY program, and select a resolution from the combo-box on the upper (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Hi, I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean by "angle." There is something called "angle" that actually controls the the type of "lense" that you are using (i.e. a wide angle verses a telephoto). These settings are independent. The angle (...)

(...) I like it. I have a couple of questions (as an interloper, not as an author) 1. (technical) *Are* the grey lobes constant width? Matt had them flaring WAY too much in his first version.
