First let me say that I got the book as soon as it was available and have read the entire thing. I am a moderate level user of Ldraw and MLCad. I also had experience with L3P, but I was used to using L3PAO for that. I have done POV Ray as well, but (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I rendered a picture of the 10026 using the cust_inc files with full radiosity. Since it took 27 hours to finish on my P3 500, I'm going to share the picture so that my wait wasn't wasted on just me. This one was rendered in 17 hr using the old (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hej Jeroen, thx for the credits!! I'm surprised you used the LGEO library for this, since in my view more realism can be achieved by the 'normal' LDRAW brickset together with a 'seam' between bricks. But anywayz: nice work! happy renderings! (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.models)

(...) That's how the current light.dat works. You set the colour of the light by the part colour, and that means you can set the brightness of the light by the brightness of the colour. I have tried this and it works pretty well. Cheers Allister (22 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad)
