Pardon the idiocy, but it is taking me too much time figure out how to do this. I have recently started trying my hand at rendering. There are a large number of programs to learn! LDRAW, MLCAD, L3P, POV-Ray, MEGA-POV, and so forth. I’ve been doing reasonably well so far. You can see some of my progress at my Brickshelf folder.

So here’s the deal. I have the new L3P beta. I have the new LGEO library. These seem to work OK. The part I am having trouble with is Anton Raves’ library. I have downloaded the files, and I can use the -ar flag in L3P, but it only ever seems to grab 1 or 2 parts. This means it is at least working a little, but I know there are thousands of parts in the library. I notice that Anton’s entire library is in one file (library.lib), and that the parts do not use the LDRAW numbers. I also notice that LGEO included a few include files which map to Anton’s library. Do I need to create of these includes for every single part in Anton’s library? Or is there something obvious that I am missing?

If I get this one solved, I’ll follow up with a much heavier question!!

Thanks, Eric

(...) The AR option is implemented for now as a technical test. I wanted to make use of some of Antons parts, such as minifig gear and curved parts. These are hard to redesign in LGEO with the small cylinder edges. To make use of Antons parts, I (...) (16 years ago, 1-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
