Yes it true ....
You'll need: L3P and Povray (L3P is an example there are others as well, but
I realy like this one since it's easy to use ...)
Make sure they are installed properly then start MLCad. Load your model and
select Export from the file menu.
In the post processing part enable the first two post processors and write
the following into the lines:
Postprocessor 1: Check the command type
Path: <path to l3p>l3p.exe
Parameters: -o %4 c:\temp
Postprocessor 2: Do NOT check the command type
Path: <path to povray>pvengine.exe
Parameters: +I%7.pov +W160 +H120 /EXIT
You will find the parameters in the docus of L3P and Povray, try playing
arround with them.
Basically they mean:
for L3P overwrite output file
for Povray: +I is input file, +W and +H the width and heigt of the pic and
/EXIT tells povray to terminate when finished.
Finaly the pictures are in the default picture path of Povray.

| Thanks for the pointers. Unfortunately, all the links I tried for L3P failed with a foreign language error message (I think it was an error message anyway). Any other suggestions? -- ~mek~ (remove cc from atkincc to email me) Michael Lachmann wrote (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| I am getting the feeling that separate programs are needed to generate POV or Raytraced pictures of models created in MLCAD, is this true? If so, where can I find programs to do this and what do I need to do in MLCAD to get them to work? -- ~mek~ (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
