Hi all, I uploaded my first experimental animation to the BrickShelf. I plan to create a little animated story with Lego objects (buildings, vehicles, minifigs etc.). This animation is only to test the technology, (lighting, camera moving, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Anton Raves was making LEGO renderings before Lars made L3P, and even before Lutz made L2P, so I'd say I'm pretty certain he made them all in POV-Ray :) You'll notice that he uses a different coordinate system, a different scale, and a (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad)
