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 left (The "AA" makes the quality higher, but
takes longer).  Then, hit the "run" button.  It's that easy.

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 display.

You must use a program called L3P to convert from the LDRAW .dat format • to
the POV-RAY (.pov) format.  I use a wrapper called LP3AO that provides a
windows interface to L3P.  Look on Lugnet.cad.dev for more info on this.

The other information about using POV-RAY can be found on www.ldraw.org.

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 that way.I have a couple of other models that I will be
putting up on the site this next month,I'll post a message when they're • up.

Cheers
Gary
