* preview-window to check the camera-settings

Please note that LPub is not a renderer.  What you are asking for in this
one is a renderer, which is no small change.    It could take a *long* time
for this one to get done (if it does).

you probably "missundaztood" me. I was thinking of the following feature:

loading a .ldr or .mpd it shows up in a preview-frame in the camera tab,
like the hose, spring or minifig in MLCad.

I understood you perfectly.  Maybe you didn't understand me.  LPub is not
a renderer.

got it! to me "renderer" means raytracing, radiosity ... progs like povray,
3ds, bryce ... sorry for messing up.

Is this where LDLite might come into play?

If we could figure out a *fast* interface for getting images between a
renderer and LPub (fast enough to be interactive like I know Willy wants)
then yes.

The ideal solution would to be to have one of these renderers as a DLL
library that I could use for this purpose.  A fast renderer that that
supports simple ambient, diffuse, specular reflection lighting model, mesh
triangle support (like LDView), and optional brick outlining (like LDlite)
would be ideal.

(...) All of LDView's rendering code is actually already encapsulated into a static library. It's not a DLL because I decided that having the DLL complicated the LDView distrubution overly much (especially for screen saver support). It wouldn't be (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
