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?

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 need to check each part in details and find out the needed transformation to
match the LGEO coordinate system (Which then is matched to the LDRAW world by
L3P). If you have special whishes on preferred parts, let me know. I will see
what can be done.

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

So let’s hear this one...
