How is an image like this created:

http://media.peeron.com/ldraw/images/47/3x/2464.png

Specifically, how are the black lines done?  Is there a special command, or is
it a function of some software platform unfamiliar to me?

Any info is appreciated.

Dave!

(...) Looks to me like its rendered with ldglite, but i could be wrong. ROSCO (19 years ago, 8-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The black lines are normal edge lines (type 2 or 5). As has been mentioned, that was drawn by LDGlite which seems to use silly thick black lines to represent them. Different renderers use different settings (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) LDLite or LDGLite, possibly with a special ldraw.ini color file that gives black edge lines (although the default for trans white might be black already), or maybe MegaPOV are all ways I can think to do it. Ask Dan Boger. (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You can also use "Save snapshot" in LDView to generate a similar image. If you set the edge lines to be always black, and set the Field of View to be 0.1, you'll get something like so: (URL) Cobbs (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
