(...) Hi Scott, It will be better if you put adjacent horizontal pixels into a long quad rather than a line. The renderer POV-Ray does not support the concept of lines, so they are tossed when L3P converts you LDraw file to a POV file. Kevin (19 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

I have just tested your prog. It seems to me that you put for every pixel one quad. This produces an enormous amount of bytes in a file. There was already a prog that was called bmp2dat. If you could rearrange the quads that are direct beside into (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)
