(...) Yeah, it'd be very cool if L3P had an option to generate include files instead of full scenes. That way, people could run all their various model files through L3P to generate the definitions in include files. Then they could use all those (...)

(...) I had no idea that L3Lab had POV output, in spite the fact that I've been using it daily for years! Hmm, very intersting. The alternative approach that comes to my mind is: * LDA creates a static MPD file and runs it through L3P. * The output (...)

But what I do with an L3Lab output (which is how I generate my static images in POV from LDraw files) is immediately strip the camera and viewpoint stuff out and make it into an .inc file, my main file just includes what (...)

(...) You mean LD4D and you or POV-Ray and you? (...) You really need to look at how POV-Ray does animation. It has all of this built in. I think one reason why animation is so hard is because L3P's output is overwhelming. It is not good for newbies (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)
