   Not so long ago my 4th P.C crashed (I think it killed a cat) like the rest of my PC (Next time I will buy a mac) so I formated c: and reinstalled everything again exect for M$ Office 2000 PRO when it was time to installed all Lego apps I decided to (...)

        Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray (Was: About installing/Reinstalling Ldraw and about datville) —Jacob Sparre Andersen
     Eduardo: (...) It is as far as I know practically impossible to render Datsville in POV-Ray at the moment. I think it is necessary with some "intelligent" stud and interior removal to reduce the model to a size most systems can cope with. Jacob (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
    
         Re: Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray —Tore Eriksson
      Jacob Sparre Andersen: (...) FYI, I am working on different methods and combinations of methods to decrease the number of polygons when rendering Datsville (or parts of).

          Re: Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray —Fredrik Glöckner
       (...) Perhaps you could do this automatically by applying the technique to every part for which the name only includes the words "brick", "plate" or "tile"? It must also include some kind of "2 x 4" notion, but if it does not contain anything else, (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
      
           Re: Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray —Tore Eriksson
       (...) I didn't realize that simplifying could be so complicated. :o) I have already made a program that suggests all bricks, plates, and tiles to be replaced. Before it performs the replacing, the user has the chance to deselect those parts that (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
      
           Re: Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray —Fredrik Glöckner
        (...) That sounds very clever to me! (...) Sorry for being unclear, I just meant that the name of the part should be "brick", "plate" or "tile", with some size spesification afterwards, but nothing more.

           Re: Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray —Michael Horvath
       Tore, if you could create a tutorial while you're working on it on "How to Build Datsville", it might make a good addition to the reference section of ldraw.org. Anyway, it would give some information for people to chew on. Slap some screenshots on (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

          Re: Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray —Michael Horvath
      (...) Yeah, but in the model creation process, no real time would be lost. If an automaitic utility were created to aid in the building process that would, say, ask for the requested element size, you could make a ttore brick that's 15 x 15 x 1, or (...)
