I didn't mean a part which was transformed with L3P, I meant to model
the magnifying glass individually in POV-Ray, and including this model
in an L3P'd model.
Anyway, I am quite sure that POV-Ray does this refraction. The amount
of refraction can even be adjusted.
It would be fun to try this out, but I haven't got the time right now.

| I've given this a try now. I haven't actually modeled the LEGO magnifying glass, because I don't have it in front of me, and I don't want to start a new flame war. Seriously, though, I just made a simple lens in POV-Ray. Here's the code I used: (...) (25 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
