To generate dat files with camera 'stuff' and feed them to L3P, you can
use my LD4DModeler application. Have to fix the lights though or the
inside will be dark I gess rendering in povray.
Are you an developer of ldglite? Could not tell from the site, but if so
I've got a routine for capturing a part of the current desktop in
windows. You can make nice screen caps with it. I use it in Beta 3 of
LD4DModeler to capture the DirectX window's content per frame. This is
very handy if you can't copy the content of a window directly.
If you want I'll post it here. It's in delphi pascal but mostly api
call's so easaly translated to C++.
PS: why not use quake etc game style for navigation, mouse 'head' arrows
feet. And switch from navigating / normal with e.g. caplock or some
other toggle thingy :)
