I'm adding an option to L3P to specify the skyvector, -csky<x>,<y>,<z> camera sky vector, default is 0,-1,0 This option is primarily for other programs, that can calculate a vector. However, I think it would be useful to have a simple option to (...) (22 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

|

(...) In the model's POV code, there is a matrix that both rotates and positions the wheel. It looks something like this: matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,25,30,35> The first nine values control rotation and scaling of the part. The last 3 control the (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi all, just a quick question How can make my wheels rotate around like normal car wheels instead of having the rotating around like if the are in orbit around a planet or some thing? I used this but is not right rotate <clock,0,0>} (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I don't know Pov-ray so well, but in Autodesk VIZ R4, you just make the material self-illumintaing, and you apply a glowfilter. Like this: (URL) Hasse Lie (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

How does one create a lightsaber effect in POV-Ray? And I don't mean lighting up a lightsaber part. From my very limited knowledge of the program, it seems you could use one (or more) cylinders with various media applied. Other than that I am (...) (22 years ago, 14-May-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Use DAT2LWS or DAT2DXF and then import into bryce. I think you can get both of those programs on the ldraw.org website. If you have trouble finding either or can't get it to work right email me and I'll help out. - Orion (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
