  Re: Some pov-ray questions
 
(...) On second thoughts, you can do this in POV-Ray, without the use of a .BAT file. What you need to do is simply to make a dummy .POV file in which you put an indexed table of your 1500 .POV files. Then you put som code into this dummy file which (...)

  Re: Some pov-ray questions
 
(...) If you have 1500 individual, different .POV files, I don't think you can have them all rendered with one execution of POV-Ray. If these are 1500 frames of a single POV-Ray animation, however, you can use the POV-Ray animation options to render (...) (22 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Some pov-ray questions
 
Being fairly new to pov-ray I am having problems using the render engine via the command line I can't seem to change the height and width via a custom povray.ini file in the current directory, it will take the different output directory but it still (...)

  Re: LGEO Problem
 
(...) john, Have you tried removing the word clear from the statemnet // 1x1 round with fin lg_4588_clear to lg_4588 See what happens when you do that? I think you still get the clear in POV... I've seen this error before and I just remove the (...) (22 years ago, 31-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  POV rendering file format
 
Hi All, Just thought I'd send this out. I'm sure most of you know this but for those who don't it is a huge disk space and upload/download time saver. By adding "+FN" to the POV or MegaPOV command line or click on the big "INI" button in the Windows (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: memory for LGEO
 
(...) (URL) is an example of a scene that used LGEo parts and has other stuff in it. You can make it more complex by adding 'better' terrain using FORESETR or TERRAGEN to it. This one took 4 minutes to render. POV has has problem when it must figure (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: memory for LGEO
 
(...) I would like to see a scene that matched the complexity of the LGEO library pieces. (22 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: memory for LGEO
 
(...) I would like to point out a difference in thinking here. 64MB may be fast and good enough for rendering any complex/big model ALONE. That being just the model with a simple grey floor or the building instructions. Since I usely render my (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: memory for LGEO
 
(...) I used to attempt Lgeo mania on my 32Meg Win95 machine, but could only manage a few dozen pieces before grinding the system into submission. (Ummm, not that the system submitted to actually rendering the picture, rather that it finally (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: memory for LGEO
 
(...) My computer has Win98se, 64Mb memory and I never encountered problems with LGEO parts. Probably 32Mb is sufficient for models below 1000 parts. I estimate one could render all official lego models using only 32Mb. Damien (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: memory for LGEO
 
(...) There isn't one. In practice, the more avaliabel memory that POV-Ray can use the less time it takes for POV to render. The speed of the CPU *doesn't* matter as much as the memory. I've tested POV on a dual-P3-650Mhz (256MB RAM) machine and a) (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  memory for LGEO
 
What is the minimum memory a computer needs to render a POV-file with LGEO-parts? 128Mb? 256? more? I know it depends on the size of the file, but is there a sort of guide for it? I need to know for the REND101 manual. Jeroen (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Mac .ldr to POV (was: Online Mac instructions.)
 
In January Lars told me that he wants to finish porting L3P to linux first, and then he will focus on the Mac. I offered to help, but he wants to control the code and he has a friend who is a Mac programmer who will help him. I don't see why this (...)

  Mac .ldr to POV (was: Online Mac instructions.)
 
(...) Another thing you folks still need (aside from documentation and a 2nd generation tool like brickdraw3D) is a bridge from .ldr files to POV. Perhaps someone can persuade Lars to make l3p available on MacOS. Or maybe you can take the lead and (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Converter of .pov to .jpg, .bmp, or .gif
 
You know sometimes the easiest answers are not always the most obvious. If I had played around with POV alittle longer I would have discovered the samething. Thanks much!! Nate (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Converter of .pov to .jpg, .bmp, or .gif
 
(...) Easy answer is Povray. Why? The .pov files are just a scene definition, you actually have to render them with povray (or other raytracer) to be able to see the images. When you render the scene, you can then save it as a bitmap graphic. Martin (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
