Then I would definitely recommend LDView for the rendering chain. I've recently
used it to create a set of part images (as I used to use ldglite) for the entire
library, and they are FAN-TAB-u-Glorious!
Travis has been very helpful, and even added some features to the UNRELEASED*
3.2 (which is unreleased, has no announced release date, and still "in Alpha"
status) I asked for, with a day's turn-around. Fixed some defects I've found,
too. I can't praise LDView enough...

I wanted something for end-of-line comments, rather than having to place
comments every-other-line (which is what I ended up doing -- I've spent some
time on this project today after posting that it was forthcoming)
something like...
0 !COLOUR Black CODE 0 VALUE #1b234 EDGE 0 // TLG: 26
which would show that the TLG code for Black is 26 (the LDRAW code is 0)
instead, I had to (I believe) go with:
0 TLG: 26
0 !COLOUR Black CODE 0 VALUE #1b2a34 EDGE 0
0 TLG: 23
0 !COLOUR Bright_Blue CODE 1 VALUE #0d69a8 EDGE 0
(bleh)

wastes time looking.
