| (...) Sweet. I can host stuff. (...) Sweet. I guess I've kinda fallen off. Incidentally, the last few days I've been cleaning up my old files and I ran across the old LDMC website (LDraw for the Mac Campaign). Its been 5 years since I took the site (...)

I'd previously only been aware of the PC binary version (URL) available here>. The Tk GUI works, (...) (19 years ago, 30-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

| (...) Thanks for the tip, Tim! The point about LDraw (and POV-Ray) objectives being comprised of surfaces rather than solids is worth keeping in mind, too. After re-rendering the little test scene with maxtracelevel set to 8, I realized that the (...) (19 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

| --snip-- (...) Hi Jim, The second error there is certainly to blame for the opacity. You need to add a line globalsettings maxtracelevel N where N is high enough (probably 8 will do). Partially this is because LDraw parts are constructed of surfaces (...) (19 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

| (...) You're right - it does work. I retried it with L3P output and the view is positioned correctly. My previous effort used POV-Ray code from Anton's converter. That's not necessarily the reason it didn't work before, though: it was late and I was (...) (19 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

| (...) The aspect ratio shouldn't make enough of a difference to put the camera out of the ship. It should only change the cropping. If you have the same aspect ratio, you should should get nearly pixel-perfect alignment of all polygons that don't (...)

| (...) I was thinking of that. I tried it briefly the other night but I must have had a different aspect ratio, because the rendering appeared far outside the ship. I'm getting up to speed on POV-Ray, though, so I'll definitely try it again. (...) (...) (19 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

| (...) It's worth noting that if you get the POV-Ray camera info from LDView and render in POV-Ray, you should get exactly the same view there (assuming you use the same aspect ratio). (...) The sensitivity is pretty messed up. It doesn't properly (...) (19 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
