I could never get mesh enhancer to work right, but the Anton Raves library does
have the part you mention. In that library it is referred to as
stwa_r2d2_head.
I created the following ar_0553.inc file to use this with LGEO:
#ifdef(ar_0553)
#else
#include "ar_material.inc"
#include "ar_library.inc"
#declare setting = 2;
#declare ar_0553 =
object {
www.brick(texture{})
matrix <-0.1, 0, 0,
0, 0, .1,
0, 0.1, 0,
0, 0, -3*LG_PLATE_HEIGHT>
rotate <0, 0, 90>
}
#declare ar_0553_clear =
object {
ar_0553
}
#end

If you are using L3P, you need to add this part to the .lst file. If you are
exporting straight from LDView like I do, you need to add the following to
LGEO.xml:
<Element>
<LDrawFilename>553.dat</LDrawFilename>
<POVName>ar_0553</POVName>
<POVName Alternate="Clear">ar_0553_clear</POVName>
<Dependency>LGDefs</Dependency>
<POVFilename>ar_0553.inc</POVFilename>
<MatrixRef>LGEOTransform</MatrixRef>
</Element>

Naturally, you have to actually have Anton’s library which is the
ar_library.inc file and you have to make sure to include it when you run
POV-Ray.
Once you’ve done these things, everything will be automatic and you’ll have a
nice looking dome! Look at
this picture for a
good example of a render with this part.

| (...) Thanks Eric. All this sounds interesting, however you may have to guide me some of the way here. I have always been interested in Anton's Library but to be honest I never worked out how to use it within the MLCad, L3PAO, LGEO, POV tool chain, (...) (15 years ago, 19-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
