At last, I have really discovered light.dat and its opportunities in L3P. It may have been discussed before, but I think it would be really great to have similar support for camera.dat and look_at.dat. Then the user easily and visually can move the (...) (20 years ago, 15-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
