How about dropping the AA ? So far, IIRC, no-one has ever used it. If another value than the default (0x80?) is wanted, it can be put into the MATERIAL section: transparent=25% The we will use the familiar LDraw color codes for both EdgeColor and (...)

Hi there! Neither do I rendering nor am I enemy of POV-ray, still posting this: I've found an LDraw to RenderMan convertor here:(URL) it might be useful for, let's say, 0.5% of you ;) bye rob (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
