The 'dedicating ourselves to one tool' aspect is why I'd rather not
allow POV-Ray code to be embedded in official LDraw part files.
What I was suggesting was a separate library of POV-Ray parts that was
designed from the start to be fully compatible with LDraw -- same
coordinate system, same measurements, same orientation of parts. Plus,
it would be community-owned, and allow on-going updating.
However, getting an L3P-type interface to Anton Raves' library of parts
would be very nice, too. I've got an LDraw2Raves translation table for
pages 1-5 of Anton's parts index, and I'm about halfway done writing
transforms for page 1.
Anyone else want to play this game with me?
