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. Also you'll have to change the directories. If
you would like further guidence e-mail me.
Joe
@echo off
cls
set LDRAWDIR=f:\mlcad
Echo This program will convert %1.dat into %1.pov
echo.
echo It will also be moved into the F:\POV-RAY\MODELS directory.
echo ============================================================
echo.
l3p -q3 -f -cg40,55,0 f:\mlcad\models\%1.dat f:\pov-ray\models -o
echo.
echo ============================================================
echo.
echo Conversion process complete.
-q sets the quality level 1=simple, 3 complex. I've tried higher but no
difference
-f includes a floor
-cg sets the x,y,z of the camera
-o ovewrites the previous file automatically
