| | How do I use POV-Ray?!?!
|
|
Hi everyone! All righty, I FINALLY got Lego CAD stuff to work and can build my own models now. I LOVE the 3D stuff and want to know how to do it. So here's my question: Once I build my model using MLCAD, how can I get it into POV-Ray 3D style? I (...) (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Sure, go ahead and elaborate. I can't fix it if I don't know about it. I did actually try to fix the text update speed at one point. That's a well known problem with the glut library I use. I can't remember why I stopped working on a fix for (...) (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Sure thing, but could you perhaps elaborate just a bit on the meaning of "work properly"? Are you looking for multiple levels of polling like l3lab? Don And by the way, since we're in o-t.geek: vi? blech! At least emacs has the ldraw-mode (...) (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I tried to get LeoCAD into Debian last year with the help of a Debian devel but they were too scared of adding the library without a license (there's a long discussion on the Debian-Jr mailing list archives). I even have .deb packages ready (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I tried it recently, but I am afraid I am too used to writing my models in `vi` to apprecate the interface. Speed-wise it seemed okay. I would rather prefer that you spent some time getting the "polling" feature to work properly. Play well, (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) And considering that I just got a single bootable CD Linux system, which runs both KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.org and a bunch of other stuff, it would probably not be difficult to modify this with some LDraw tools added. The big problem - as I see (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) So it all boils down to speed? Has anyone actually tried the LEdit mode (besides the Mac folks who currently have no other option)? I'm just wondering how much of a speedup is required. I've used it for small things on my 486 laptop, but that (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
