(...) The best (and only?) program to ray-trace LDraw-files is POV-Ray. But you can't open LDraw-files direct into POV-Ray. You have to convert them to .POV-files using L3P. Both programs can be downloaded via (URL) well, Jeroen (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

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)
