(...) You're right about the performance hit. We've discussed this issue previously on lugnet, because quite a few of the renderers out there use opengl (ldview, leocad, ldglite, Mac Brick Cad...) Source code is available for all of these if you (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Someone once suggested to me (Dan from Microsoft maybe?) that given today graphics libraries, one could probably get away with ignoring op-lines altogether and use edge detection. This would present a potential problem since edge color is (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I was envisioning how an LDraw renderer would be implemented if it were done with OpenGL, and I've arrived at some questions that I can't answer for myself. I'm particularly wondering about line type #5, the optional line. According to the LDraw (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes,I am very well aware of the multitude of camera settings POV offers, and I haven't yet decided which way to go.

Personally I don't think using GTK under Windows is a good idea. I've worked with it before and even released an application that used it and you won't believe the amount of people that have trouble using a Windows application with controls that (...)

(...) POV-Ray cameras can do alot. Besides just having a location and direction, you can have a zoom, focus, you can specify the direction in the form of "look at", and more. If you are going to have a camera.dat, you might consider having it be (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
