(...) Selective rendering of parts based upon the animation clock value or something like that? Cool, I didn't know POVRay could do that. Is it a preprocessor macro thingy, or something else? I was thinking, however, more along the lines of being (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It is much more sane to use POV-Ray's animation system to do this automatically. That way, you could issue one POV-Ray command and render all the instruction steps in one run, using only one POV-file. I have suggested this to Lars C Hassing, (...)

(...) Sweet! Since POV renderings take a while, and that you'd need a POV for each step anyway, I'm wondering if all the L3P output could be saved, e.g. STEP0001.POV, STEP0002.POV, etc. Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hmm. Possibly. I thought a "musket" was a gun with a belled/flared muzzle (among other characteristics). Typical usage is for long-barrelled weapons. (...) I guess I'd be OK with that. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, it shouldn't take much change to LDAO. Just an additional loop to spit out a DAT file for each step, then use L3P to translate it, and POV-Ray to render it. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Like Rui said, LDraw only uses 8.3, and other programs (and part authors) should do the same. *Especially* for part-files. (...) Yes. Also, either format allows the inclusion of path information as part of the file name. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

How should the file name in the part command be handled? Should it be one word only (e.g. xyz.dat) or can it included spaces (e.g. Special Part.dat)? Is this handling the same for dat and mpd files? Michael (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
