  Re: Parts That Don't Render Correctly
 
(...) Nope. These parts are modeled using lines to represent the corrugations. L3P drops the lines, because POV-Ray doesn't *do* lines. So you end up with smooth parts. There are some other LDraw parts which suffer from similar problems. (...) Not (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Parts That Don't Render Correctly
 
I have noticed that the shutters for the 1x4x3 town windows and the hinge train gate don't render properly. I use the standard L3P output and render at the highest settings but they always come out smooth. The corrugated brick does fine though. Is (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Identifying connections (Was: L3PLiTE?)
 
(...) I first thought about adding all kinds of connections but the studs are the most useful for modelling and polygon reduction (unless someone wants to write a full forward kinematics simulator). The studs are the most easy connections to check (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: L3PLiTE?

(...) Excellent! The water looks very blue, but the ground texture is beautiful. Is it an image, or an actual texture? --Bram (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More LDRAW renderings
 
(...) Thanks for the advise. I noticed the command Halo in your code. Halo is not supported in PovRay 3.1. Instead i have to experiment with the Media command. George (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) It's hard to say, but with a sky sphere, you will get reflections of a sky rather than a uniform colour in the chrome pieces. It might look better. Fredrik (24 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
