 | | Problem with Seam Width
|
|
I have what will hopefully be an easy question about changing the seam width. I used L3PAO to create a .pov file a few nights ago. When I change the #declare SW = 1; line in the .pov file, the seam width gets larger or smaller depending on what I (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

This depends on what images you have been looking at. There are 2 ways that I know of creating the instruction-like images. 1) Use the keyword 'shadowless' on the light_sources in POV or 2) Use something called MEGA-POV which is an add-on to POV-Ray (...)

(...) Actually a cheap fix that *almost* works is to go into the printed head file (such as 3626bp05.dat) and rip out anything that's not color 0. ie. gut everything but the printing. Then paste in 3626.dat instead of s\3626bs01.dat. This will slap (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) It's not something that can, or needs to be, fixed. Only surfaces drawn with primitive files[1] can be curved in POV-Ray[2].

(...) Just a guess, but I don't think all the printed heads exist in the LGEO parts, so l3p can't substitute that way.

Thanks to Chris Dee for the unofficial Dragon Masters minifig torso. Actual renders make me aware I have been too demanding in the past regarding quality of minifig torsos.

yes just edit the quickres.ini file. The best way to do this is go to Render->Edit Settings/Render In the INI file heading click edit Then just copy one of the entries, paste it at the end and change the height/width to your choosing -Orion (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
