I've noticed the streaking myself when I have a 'skinned' piece at an angle in
MLCad, but it does not show up so much when I view the dat files in LDVIEW-10
(what I use to generate my 'POVRAY's). I'm a point & clicker, (in reality a
logic database programmer), not really much of a draw-it-myself graphics artist
type. After I do a few scans & skins via BMP2LDRAW's, I'll work up to trying to
actually do the 'painting' via the triangles & quads (so far all I can manage
is to change the colors of those already in place).
Thanks for the comments.

| Well, after figuring out how to use L3P & POVRAY, made a 'review' picture of the Castle style MiniFigs I (re)created so far in my quest of recreating the Castleland sets in MLCad. These have the vests/torsos/shields that have been 'skinned' using (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad)
