(...) Considering what we have here, I think we need: * A Lego animation file/script format which positions LDraw parts in relation to others, which is then distilled (using a front end) into POV scripts - so POV still handles the rendering. * A GUI (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad)

And I guess this part won't be released before a (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
