Hi,
I was just wondering,
Does a utility exist (either for .Dat or .Dxf or .Pov) that automatically
eliminates all polygons that are not visible?
I thought this might cut rendering time in POVray, and I'm trying to export
*.dat files to other platforms so that I might create a game or simulation.
Reducing the number of polygons would make this feasable.
Also, any tips that you might have on reducing the number of polygons
manually would be appreciated. LDraw parts have such great shapes, but
they're such render-hogs!
I thought, maybe, that a "reduced version" of parts would be neat for those
trying to export files. (or parts-melding utility)
Of course, I could just wait another five years until hardware speeds have
caught up and this won't be an issue anymore!
Thanks! Sorry to demand more from what has already been a considerable
effort on your parts with tremendous results!
Please email responses to mikehorvath@juno.com
