The reference to LDLite is really a generic reference to renderers other
than POV-Ray. I've not done a lot of homework on LDLite, but if it can be
an alternative renderer to POV-Ray it has a few advantages including
rendering speed (as it is *not* ray traced), and black outlined parts
(without the inaccuracies associated with the MEGAPOV solution.
LDView is another alternative, that has the smoothed triange mesh (rounded
smooth surfaces instead of tesselized triangle surfaces), it also has the
speed advantage over POV-Ray I assume.
I could try to write my own renderer that encompasses all these things, but
I'm not sure that would be the best use of my time given the existance of
other quality rendering mechanisms.
