(...) That's a good idea. Unfortunately the sky sphere also creates a goodly amount of light, creating shadows of its own. The spotlight seems to have taken care of the stone look to the minifig, so I think I'll just stick with it the way it is. (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) One way is to insert a (dim) lightsource exactly at the camera point - this way everything you can see is also lighted. By making this light dimmer than other lights, you can still have shadows, but not so articulated. -- Anders Isaksson, (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) No, those 2 lines have to do with the type of light in the scene. Have a read in the POV Scene help file for an explantion of ambient and diffuse light. -Orion (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I don't know POV, but I do know that index of refraction (IoR) shouldn't have any effect on reflections. Perhaps it does, but it shouldn't. You need do decrease the reflectivity, not the IoR. The IoR controls how much light bends when it (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) L3P generates exactly the same color definition for 47, 0x06FFFFFF and 0x03FFFFFF, so normally it shouldn't matter which color you use. However, you include "ldraw_radiosity.inc" which again includes "LDRAW_RAD_COLORl.inc", and in this file (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
