  Re: Datsville contribution
 
There is another approach. While I was experimenting on LDraw animations, I had another LDraw directory in which I have removed all lines ending with stu*.dat. Thus I has a much faster rendering for preview purposes. Now, I'm not suggesting that we (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Do you mean creating a night scene in POV-Ray or to tweak a L3P POV-Ray scene to look like night?
