For whatever reason, I have started to really get interested in the
wonderful things that can be done with LDraw, MLCad and POVRay. Some of the
movies, animations, images and scenes that I have seen come out of the POV
Ray program are just amazing! I want to do those things myself!
Alas, the POVRay code is a little, well, confusing for a programming novice
such as myself. And the POVRay documentation is written, um, for the
non-novices.
I would like to send out a challenge/request to all the people who know the
LEGO rendering arena quite well to create a series of documents, articles
and how-to instructions for novices like me to create high quality renders.
Wouldn't it be great to see a LEGO Rendering for Dummies? Topics like:
- Getting started with LEGO Rendering
- How to understand where the camera is, and how to position like you want
- Make it move: How to animated your renderings
- Adding pictures as part of the render
- Understanding how POVRay works in relation to LEGO Rendering
- and so on...
I'll even bet the LDraw.org leaders would even like to post this instruction
in a part of their site. (Guys, I am correct in this assumption?)
I know that I would be eternally grateful to share in the CAD wisdom you
gurus possess! (Any other "me toos"?)
Thanks!

| (...) Have you tried the "rolling ball" animation tutorial from the POV-Ray user's documentation? It's in chapter 2.9.5.1, page 111 in my May 1999 edition. I've found it very informative. Fredrik (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad)
