 | | Excellent rendering with MegaPov 1.0 !!!

Hi all, Forget my last post about MegaPov 0.7, yesterday MegaPov 1.0 was announced (see: (URL) )! And it is compatible with POV-Ray 3.5. Hopefully it is still as fast as version 0.7. Jeroen (22 years ago, 1-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Morning!- I've been looking for an accurate ldraw to 3ds converter, but have been unimpressed so far. I was wondering if a model exported from PovRay into a 3DS format would wind up rendering the polygons better, but haven't been able to find a (...) (22 years ago, 31-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
