Need some help with this... I've managed to get LDGLite to work standalone (i.e. viewing parts within LDRAW\Parts directory). I seem to be encountering some difficulty using it inside LDDP.

Another thing may be that your models are mainly black. Black is much more difficult than lighter colors, especially if it's shiny black. Your transparent parts look awfully good, for example (although a bit too clear to be real - I now remember (...) (20 years ago, 7-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
