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?

How about me, myself and I...? ;-) I've been thinking about a conversion ability
between LDraw and my libraries for quite a while now, even talked to a few
people about that, leaving me a few options...:

1> Get in contact with Lars and have things managed through L3P.

2> Write my own standalone application, which would make things interesting when
having to write support for several computer platforms...

3> Write a PHP converter (perhaps with a MySQL database behind it for
transformations etc) and make the whole adventure a web based application,
something which would be great for different computer platforms but could be a
drag on the bandwidth for my website...

I haven't decided yet on which way to follow, I'm going on vacation first in a
week... ;-)

Greetz,

What I was suggesting was a separate library of POV-Ray parts that was designed from the start to be fully (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
