Hello I have some problems with L3PAO, When I try to convert my .DAT files over to .POV files using L3PA0 and I open it in Pov-Ray, the script says the file is empty. I tried converting .MPD to .POV with no prevail. Is there something wrong with my (...) (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Thanks for your quick response, Lars. (...) That would be perfectly ok for me. The lines I outlined could maybe be of more generic use in other applications, but that's not important. At least not for me, now. As I understand it, L3P is your program (...) (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I have found some utilities on the web that allow you to save your camera positions by "flying" around, etc., but I haven't really found this useful for LDraw (YET). Also, I might make a post to the FST newsgroup to see if their flight simulator can (...) (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) If the object you want to rotate around is not in the centre, you may want to try to centre it. If you're using output from L3P, you should look for the last "object" definition. It would typically look like this: object { model #if (version (...) (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I would put it all in one file and use POV-Ray's animation facility to achieve the various camera positions. You can do something like this: camera { [...] location <0, -50, -100> look_at <0, -50, 0> rotate <0, 30*clock, 0> } This will cause (...) (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) It might be easier to move the camera according to the clock variable, and go with the filenames POV gives you (e.g. scene001.tga, scene002.tga, etc.) If that doesn't work for you, I might be able to whip up a quickie Perl script that will (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
