Awesome! I totally missed this. A couple of requests: 1) An option to search for and "#include" L3P-generated parts instead of writing them all to the POV file. 2) Replace mesh objects with mesh2. Thanks for all the hard work! -Mike (16 years ago, 29-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

I've updated my digital MOCs page. None of the models are new, but they are all freshly rendered using radiosity and are all available for download. (URL) hope you like them! -Mike (16 years ago, 29-Nov-08, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.cad.dat.models)

I think the way that the LDraw utilities are installed is a bit complicated for novice users, especially children or parents of children. Essentially, the current scheme asks users to first install the resources required by the software, and *then* (...) (16 years ago, 25-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
