Heya all, I just created USS-Constellation in MLCad and I want it render in POV-Ray. But it's not very userfriendly soft. ;) I wanna ask if there is some utility or upgrade for POV-Ray so I don't need everytime to add new coordinates for position, (...)

So I choose a nice 1.66 ratio using 800x480. A (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)
