Hi,
I had problems with rendering color green in L3p.
Weird.
I made a geen tree, which shows up alright in LDraw, Ldlite, Mlcad, L3lab,
and LDView. But, when converting via l3p it renders grey in POVray, instead
of green. The default color in the POVray code is color7, which is wrong.
So, I changed it from color7 to color10 (which was also listed in the POVray
code, ???) , and it rendered an ugly, bright yellow. Yuck!
Dunno why.
Mike

| Isn't the color code for green #2? I think #10 is the "solid" version of the color used for "transparent-neon-green", which would explain why the tree appears bright yellowish. (...) <snip> (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
