Kevin,
Well done on this newer version - it is a HUGE improvement over the previous
earlier version and I no longer get the calculation errors I used to get
with the numeric fields.
I do however have one strange problem that I think is a bug;
I am generation a set of renders to use as instructions for one of my custom
models.
To do this, I customise the settings and then generate a 'Complete Assembly'
render as a test to see if camera angles, lighting etc are okay.
Once I am happy that everything is ok, I attempt to do an 'Instruction
Images' render, to gernerate the step by step images. This however isn't
working properly as it is not using the same settings that 'Complete
Assembly' uses.
Specifically, I have a Globe Camera set with a Radius of -20 to move the
camera back a little (as I am using Orthographic, sometimes the corners of
the model get cut off if I don't do this). I am also using the POV>Rendering
setting of 'Ambient Light Only (high)'. Unfortunately, the camera redius it
is using is 0 and the render setting appears to be 'Media and Radiosity
(low - default)' even though it is not set that way.
I don't know if it is significant, but I have noticed that even if I save
the config as either a local or global and restart LPub, the render setting
always comes up as 'Media and Radiosity (low - default)' instead of the
Ambient Only.
If you need me to supply all the settings I use, I can, but can you please
advise me how to get this working? I am currently breaking the Model file
into a file for each step and then doing a 'Complete Assembly' generation on
each file. This of course is a lot slower than doing an 'Instruction Images'
render, but it is the only way I have found to get LPub to render using all
the settings I supply.
Thanks for the great software and the help,
Richard.

| Hi Richard, One of the things that is ill-defined for LPub is which controls affect Complete Image, and which controls affect Building Instructions. The camera settings you refer to only affect complete image. LPub assumes that you will use rotation (...) (22 years ago, 6-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

| I just got another email discussing the use of orthographic camera and building instructions. The two do not work well together, and won't for the forseeable future. LPub leaves it to L3P to determine the camera settings. For a given LDraw file, (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)
