  Re: Can LDAO do this? (was: anyone interested in rendering for me?)
 
Well... I know it's been a while... Anyway, it seems that you guys picked up on it and now the answer is easy 'cause -sc "#if (clock > n)" has been added to L3PAO. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. However I'm having trouble with telling POV-Win to (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: L3PAO Floor Problem
 
(...) I've experienced this same problem. As Gary correctly points out in another reply, the floor is infinite, but it's possible to position the camera so low relative to the floor that the floor slices through the "lens" of the camera; since (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Rendering Problems
 
I reinstalled L3P and Pov-Ray and most everything is back to normal. I can actually render a .pov file now. However, it is rendering in a *very* small window. Previously, the renderings took up the entire screen. How can I change this? -Kyle (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3PAO Floor Problem
 
the floor should be an infinate plane, no matter how far you move the camera or model you shouldn't run out of floor. try commenting out the model with/* at the front and */ at the end. leaving the lights,camera, background, floor. render it and see (...)

  Re: L3PAO Floor Problem
 
Thanks...that does the trick for the floor level. I'm still having problems with the black space across the bottom of the picture though. It's almost as if POV reaches the boundary of the floor and has nothing left to render at that point. Is there (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: What renderer did this?
 
Uh, that's mine. I converted the model to lightwave and then rendered it with global illumination in a Sky dome. Each part that moves was inlined down to the primative level and then converted so each part is a single entity. For example, the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) newest version, or, just for now, delete the "0" in the field labeled "Y" (I.E. leave it blank). This should tell L3PAO to automatically compute the floor level. Calvin (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3PAO Floor Problem
 
L3PAO has a "y" value that allows you to adjust the level of the floor. Is it possible that the lowest part in your model is not at y=0? Not sure about the black space... could it be a shadow from your model? -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message ----- (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  L3PAO Floor Problem
 
I'm having problems with the floor settings in L3PAO. When I use the checkbox to render with a floor the POV file renders the floor in the middle of my model and leaves a black space (no floor, no background) across the bottom of the picture. Can (...) (23 years ago, 18-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: What renderer did this?
 
Never looked at LEOCad but, by golly, I will now!! I talked to Matt about his renders, and admittedly while he didn't say he used Brazil, he did recommend it to me. The glass on the Polaris 1 model looks very similar to the results you get from (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  RE: SNOT Boating, con't
 
(...) You can turn off perspective in POV-Ray by adding the keyword "orthographic" to the camera. For example, camera { location <x,y,x> look_at <x',y',z'> orthographic } Hope that helps! Just remember to remove the keyword when you want perspective (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Textures
 
Hi I'm using softimage XSI to create some lego models. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to go to get textures for my models Thanks, Jabbar (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Stickers for Tiles in POV
 
Good info. Thanks! I have two questions about this: 1. Is it possible to get a .gif to work with transparency? 2. I am not totally clear on how you flip an image end for end, or rotate it.
