  Re: How to do "Glow In the Dark" effect ?
 
(...) The easiest way is to increase the ambient value for the glow in the dark color: #declare AMB = 0.4; #declare DIF = 0.4; #declare GLOWAMB = 0.6; #declare GLOWDIF = 0.4; // glow in the dark #ifndef (Color21) #declare Color21 = #if (version >= (...)

  First animation or my mech 'prototype'
 
I've finished my first animation, using the mech prototype (with a improved head) It's only 8 seconds but it took almost 1.5 hours to render. I've managed to squeeze it in a 1.4MB 400x300 Divx 5 file. It's not the best quality (compared to the 260MB (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.cad.ray)

  How do I use POV-Ray?!?!
 
Hi everyone! All righty, I FINALLY got Lego CAD stuff to work and can build my own models now. I LOVE the 3D stuff and want to know how to do it. So here's my question: Once I build my model using MLCAD, how can I get it into POV-Ray 3D style? I (...) (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Making POVRAY31 for dos like the one of win9x/NT/2k/XP?
 
(...) Eduardo, (Note that everything I say is about POVRay version 3.1 -- no 3.5 for me yet.) What you want to do is write an INI file for your scene; this file will tell the DOS POVRAY engine the quality settings and resolution, anti-aliasing, etc. (...)

In pov-ray document they say by default POV-RAY for dos is set less quality and that is faster can someone tell me how to set the dos version with same setting as the windows version? (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Why does it take long?
 
(...) Probably because you render every picture three times! Don't use POVRay for generation of time delay in an animation, use the animation software instead (setting time for a frame, duplicating a frame etc) -- Anders Isaksson, Sweden BlockCAD: (...)

  Re: Why does it take long?
 
(...) Ray tracing is very CPU intensive, and I guess also quite memory hungry. If you've got SDRAM then that could be a bottleneck. A P4 or AMD XP CPU running much faster with DDR would probably make a huge difference in this case, but I'm not (...) (22 years ago, 13-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: POV Color Cheat?  [DAT]
 
(...) [ snipped ] Intresting, and yes it will work but with a few buts. First you will need to do the color-declaring before you do your model.
