  Re: From Screen to Paper Printing (PPI/DPI Question)
 
You need to create an image in POV-Ray that's at least 4800 x 4800 pixels. You can't/don't need to set the ppi in POV-ray. Then make sure your image program prints it at 600 dpi (do _not_ resample the image). You're weren't asking how to create (...)

  From Screen to Paper Printing (PPI/DPI Question)
 
Hey Y'all: I have a project created in Ldraw/POV-Ray of which I would like to create a higher (PPI/DPI) resolution image of approximately 8" x 8". I'd like to be able to achieve something like 600-1200 ppi for the final image printed on paper. I (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: L3P user primitive substitution
 
(...) Well yes, but I wasn't just thinking about POV. I thought that was your point in changing the syntax. The 0 INCLUDE meta-command could be used to install custom colors much like the ldliterc.dat file. I'm sure there are plenty of other non-POV (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Various Questions . . .
 
Okay I'm new to the whole LDraw thing so bear with me. I'm trying to model one of my creations and I've discovered two of the parts are not available. First of all, what is the process to get a part made? Can I produce a part myself and what (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: L3P user primitive substitution
 
(...) In general, that's an interesting thought. But in this case, I don't think it's necessary - POV already has an include statement (IIRC). Of course, allowing the use of such a statement raises another issue: is it alright to distribute (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: L3P user primitive substitution
 
(...) Just a thought. If the POVRAY (or whatever) sections get too big, would it make sense to add 0 INCLUDE meta-command so the LDRAW only programs don't waste time parsing? Then the POV specific versions could be distributed separately from the (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
