Jake,

I used one POV file for most of the images at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2261.  In the POV file, I
just commented out the steps/pieces that I did not want to render.  You
could probably use the POV clock vaiable (used when creating animations) and
some #if...#else...#end directives to automate rendering.

I have found that the rendered instructions that I have done are harder to
use than the standard "drawn" output.  The look better, but it is hard to
see the individual bricks because they do not have lines around them.  To
compensate, I have incresed the space between the bricks.

I will be following this thread to see what people come up with.  Good luck.

Bob

All,

Does anyone know if there is a way (and if so, how) to create a series of
.pov files based on the individual steps of a single .dat or .mpd file? I
would like to create instructions that are rendered instead of the standard
wireframe output, but I don't want to have to create 50 individual .dat
files at each step!

Help!

Thanks!
Jake
