        Re: My first model,please look —Brad Hamilton
     That's nice. Have you considered rendering it with POV-RAY? This is a free program that is relatively easy to use and provides much better display than MLCAD. You still use MLCAD for all the editing, but then you run POV-RAY to create a nicer (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
    
         Re: My first model,please look —Gary Blessing
     (...) Hi, I downloaded POV-RAY and didn't exactly understand it,its the type of program where most comands are type written,I'm not verry good at that and I don't like it either. I know the model would look great because the original model was done (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

      Hi, You actually don't have to understand much about POV-RAY to use it. Just download L3P. You run that to covert the.dat file to a .pov. Then, you just open the file in the POV-RAY program, and select a resolution from the combo-box on the upper (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

     Gary, I don't care for command line parameter either. I created a simple batch file and called it CONVERT.BAT There is a variable, so all you type is CONVERT FILENAME No need for an extension.

   (...) Well, I'm glad you learned to use a LEGO modelling program (I'm certainly too lazy to figure one out myself) but I have to ask exactly what you meant by first MLCAD model. If you did meant your first original model, then it ended up looking an (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
   
        Re: My first model,please look —Bram Lambrecht
     (...) Thanks Mark. Looks like Gary built the model from my renderings and then put his model into MLCAD. In case anyone is interested, here is my original DAT file: (URL) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
   
        Re: My first model,please look —Gary Blessing
   (...) Yes thats what I meant. (...) I pointed this out at the bottom of the page,I also listed the URL for the original!! I didn't think that anyone would mind if I copied a model that I liked, and I still think the original is better,I just wanted (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
   
        RE: My first model,please look —Bram Lambrecht
     (...) Yes, thanks for putting the note there. Generally, you may want to contact the original designer for permission when using his/her design, especially when your modifications are minor.

        Re: My first model,please look —A. Mark Wilburn
   ... (...) Nope, MY fault for not viewing in a larger window (or scrolling down). You did right; like I said, I just wanted to make sure. My apologies for posting prematurely (yes, I know there's a horrible pun in there, but let's not go there =P) (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
