(...) Yes, I'm pretty sure ldglite negates both the y and z coords just before calling any OpenGL functions. If I remember right, the reason the LDRAW coordinate system is so odd is because it started out in 2D screen pixel coords and the 3D view (...)

(...) This actually looks like the best solution to me. It gets around lots of unforseen problems. For instance, when I originally did the scene on the stairs, I tilted the camera by looking up the stairs with the look_at parameter. But that caused (...)

Here is the new simplified camera: camera { spherical location <-320,-239,0> // position look_at <-320,-239,1> // view scale <0,0,-1> // flip it rightside up } I'm not sure why the flip works, or why it is needed.

(...) <snip> (...) Actually it would be cool to place the camera with L3P. I believe h_angle and v_angle default to 180, and 360, so they are probably not needed.
