I have posted an animation that I made of a little switcher engine being built piece by piece. There are two versions, once 640x480 (4.5M) and the other at 320x240 (756KB). Both are at: (URL) engine was modeled using MLCAD. The DAT file was (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Actually, the problem seems to be one where the L3PAO outputted file doesn't contain the complete paths to the parts in the LGEO library, this causes POV to bomb on each and every include statement.

(...) L2P is Lutz Uhlman's program for converting an LDraw .DAT file to POV-Ray format, using the LGEO library exclusively. You don't need to use L2P if you don't want to. You can also use Lars C Hassing's L3P to convert a .DAT file into POV-Ray (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

Tim, <snippage> (...) The screen saver was created by Michael Lachmann, who (as you know) created ML-cad.

Tim, I use the LGEO library, and use L3P with the L3Pao to generate the POV files. I haven't had many problems at all.
