  Re: More LDRAW renderings
 
(...) I am using two fill lights on both sides of the castle with values 0.5*<1,1,1> and the front light has a value of 2*<1,1,1>. That's why the shadows are so hard. Next time i'll try area lights... (...) I am using the tomtree.inc. You can find (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) the shadows are a bit hard. Perhaps you could use area lights to make them softer. This will seriously increase the rendering time, though. You could also try to add a few fill lights, but this will also increase the rendering time, I'm (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Castle Siege at: (URL) Time: 11 hours 52 mins on my PIII/450 with 256MB Ram. I'll post more pictures of the castle as soon as rendering finishes ;) Enjoy! George (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray) ! 
 
  Re: '59 Caddy Hovercar Raytraces
 
(...) What kind of texture did you use for the chrome pieces, BTW? In my opinion, it has a tad bit too much reflection. I can't see that the parts are silver, I only see the reflection of the environment in them. Also, did you try to add a (low key) (...)

(...) Thanks! (...) I wish...(well, not really. The only thing I could build with pink bricks is Cadillacs :) They really can't be any other color...) You'll notice that the MPD file is in the colors I actually built the model--white. --Bram (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: L3PLiTE?
 
(...) I think this is a little too much for the task, you don't need to try to remove the interior too, it won't make a big difference. Think of a 2x2 plate, if you can remove the stud4, you're saving 48 quads, 64 lines and 32 optional lines while (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: L3PLiTE?
 
(...) In this case you could leave out the interior of the 2x2, but you must use the entire top of the 4x4. In the case of solid wall like structures, however, it could reduce 90% of the blocks to no interiour, and no studs. -Chuck (24 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: L3PLiTE?
 
(...) It does take some extra time to load a big file but the speed increase later is well worth it. After doing the initial calculations, you only need to check the studs for the bricks you move so it's very fast. Leonardo (24 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: L3PLiTE?

  Re: L3PLiTE?
 
(...) I have done something like that for LeoCAD, it removes the studs above and below the bricks and plates for the rendering. I haven't added this option for the POV-Ray export but that's something that I can do if you want. Leonardo (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
