Wow, I like! I'm seeing the rounded edges on your parts - are you using the
L2P library, or someone elses?
I guess I don't have L2P set up right, because L3PAO won't generate the file
when I have that option checked - and I've been too lazy to go in and fix
it.

Well, 1) I'm running 1ghz/256 RAM (not the latest and greatest, for a laptop
its up there), 2) My screen res is 1600x1200, so I decided I wanted to make
a wallpaper out of it, and 3) I just set it up overnight and it was done in
the morning. Anyways, I like the look of transparent bricks - as I said, I
was inspired by the since disappeared BrickDreams site.

I'd have to say distant future at this point. There's a few more critical
automation needs on the site which should be taken care of first. Plus, I'm
tied up with a lot of site work right now that hasn't hit public view yet
(but will soon). Its a good idea though, and if someone would like to code
it I have no objection.

Haha :-) Well, I'd like to see something like this too. Especially more
artwork-ish than just MOCs in scenes.

| 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)
