| Hi Tim, This is a great scene. Thanks for taking the time to render it. I really enjoy rendered pictures of LEGO (be they of bricks or scenes) for my desktop, but I haven't been seeing many new ones recently. Because of that, I've been playing (...)

| Tim, I use the LGEO library, and use L3P with the L3Pao to generate the POV files. I haven't had many problems at all. Certain pieces don't seem to work, hence the lack of the 24-tooth crown gear in my pictures. <snip> (...) <snip> (...) I also (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

| Tim, <snippage> (...) The screen saver was created by Michael Lachmann, who (as you know) created ML-cad.
