What programs do you guys (or gals) use for rendering (or ray-tracing, whatever the correct terminology is)? I created a model in MLCAD and was trying to find how to generate a rendered image of it. Thanks in advance. Play well. Tim Strutt 8^) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes- I'm thinking that I'll do web versions that are optimized for browsing, and a downloadable zip of a more printable version. I'll have to keep the zips off of my site, though.

I agree- but MLCAD doesn't easily do this. Would LDraw be better? (...) On anything but a (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish.html)

(...) Hey- those look pretty darn good! I'll investigate this. The extra shadows from the lighting are still somewhat distracting, but that may be worth it. Thanks! -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish.html)

(...) Wow- I didn't realize there was a setting for this. I'll check it out. (...) MLCAD has a picture-generation dialog (there's an icon on the toolbar of a camera to bring it up). It lets you choose a few different options. I'm using this to (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish.html)

Very nice! I could follow almost every step. Some suggestions: 1) As others have said, use numbers rather than arrows. 2) On some steps, the scale was too small, and I had trouble seeing exactly what bricks had been added. It's better to keep the (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish.html)

Ed or Eduardo? Thanks! I don't think there is any standard for that animation. I just wanted to create something with a higher aspect ratio then the standard 4x3 or 1.33 for a bit of widescreen look. So I choose a nice 1.66 ratio using 800x480. A (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)
