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.

I'll have to look into why my L2P isn't working.  Its probably a simple
solution, I just haven't looked yet.

I also really enjoyed the Brickdreams images.  I had most of them saved, • but
unfortunately it was on my old computer which died sometime back.

Awww...yeah, I lost some files due to a bad CD burner and an HD format - I
thought the CDs were good but I didn't examine the files close enough before
I took the system down.  A few of the BrickDreams images were lost too.
Fortunately, my most critical data was backed up over our network at home.

I'm running a 900 Mhz/256 RAM, but my computer is in my bedroom, and I • don't
like listening to the fans while I try to go to sleep.  If I want to • render
a really complex image I let it run while I'm at work during the day.

My laptop is pretty quiet, so its bareable compared to a desktop with the
fan always running.  The fan on this only runs when its needed.

Thanks for all of the work you put into LDraw.org.  I'm glad to have one
place to go to get the parts for setting this system up.

Thanks!  I enjoy working at it too, it gives me something to do, and I also
enjoy getting to talk to people about LDraw at the various LEGO events I
attend.  Its a great system, and a great community, lots of fun.

Have you tried the .dat file screen saver?  I use it, and really like it.

No, I don't recall ever hearing about it.  When/where was it posted?  Cause
I must have missed it.  Link?

Once the site is organized better (trust me, it will be very very soon) I'd
like to be able to host cool little things like that which have to do with
LDraw.

Tim, <snippage> (...) The screen saver was created by Michael Lachmann, who (as you know) created ML-cad. It requires most of the things that ML-cad requires to run, but that usually isn't an issue for those of us who dabble in LEGO cad projects. (...)

(...) L2P is Lutz Uhlman's program for converting an LDraw .DAT file to POV-Ray format, using the LGEO library exclusively. You don't need to use L2P if you don't want to. You can also use Lars C Hassing's L3P to convert a .DAT file into POV-Ray (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)
