Hi John, I'm sorry you've had so much trouble with ray tracing. I've tried to answer some points below. (...) The thing about rendering is that it is a combination of art and science. There are so many parameters to deal with and what looks good in (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) First, I would like to agree that there are quite a few nice renders out on Brickshelf and the various personal sites. Before I begin I do not want this to come across as criticism, but I have a few questions/comments to make about some of the (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) LDLite will do work, but it does bark at you when there's no setting for the LDraw directory. Clicking Cancel gets you past that prompt, and then LDLite draws the file as best it can. (...)

(...) Ldglite wouldn't be a good choice (for a packaged solution) -- it needs glut32.dll along with the main ldglite.exe file. But it would be a good choice for a program someone could just grab, unzip, and run. If you pointed them at the download. (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ldglite is still fairly primitive. For Windows, it's basically just an executable and a dll. If you don't give it an ldraw path, it should just look in the directory containing the model, and in the model file itself (if it's an MPD). Is that (...)

I always thought of the MLDFR to look something like this: (URL) (click on the models!) The pictures of the models are clickable and link directly to the Ldraw files. This is merely a small test. We could make all catalogues clickable. If we'd get (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
