Hi, I've got a mask generation facility working pretty well for partial assembly images. The technique I use is to add the concept of chromakey color. I render the image with chromakey color (user selectable) as the background color. I then examine (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't think making a separate part file for every known length of a part is the right approach, for at least two different reasons.

Hi All, I added support to LPub for POV-Ray 3.5 and 3.6. I was trying to use MEGA-POV 1.1, but it seems to have stopped supporting the find_edges facility. Anyone know how to do the find_edges in these newer renderers. Kevin (20 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
