  Re: Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
Thanks to both of you. Just for me, I would be completely satisfied if LDView shows (and exports to clipboard) full 4*4 trafo matrix instead of 3*3 matrix as it does in current version. Then I am able to derive .pov trafo matrix by myself. Small (...) (19 years ago, 4-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
(...) It would definitely be more convenient for me if you had a -matrix option. I'm not sure off the top of my head how to go from my camera matrix to your latitude/longitude/roll (although I'm sure I could probably figure it out). (...) I'll take (...)

  Re: Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
(...) I have already implemented support for the sky vector and for camera roll, see (URL) perhaps it would be more convenient to have a -matrix option to directly specify the camera matrix ? I know POV supports the matrix keyword inside the camera. (...) (19 years ago, 3-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
(...) I tried to implement this functionality, but ran into a brick wall. The problem is that L3P doesn't allow for arbitrary camera positioning, so there's no way to convert LDView's arbitrary camera position into an L3P command line. Specifically, (...)

  Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
Hi I am using it and I am really glad I've found it. But some models (or details) require better rendering, so I use POV-Ray. In POV, pinpointing exact camera_position and camera look_at parameters just by typing coordinates is real pain even when (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Late night in the Moscow Metro
 
Hi all, Recently I've become quite interested (a little addicted might even be more accurate) to Russian trains and Soviet architecture. Both have their own unique traits and styles which appear pretty much nowhere outside the former Soviet Bloc. (...)

  DB425 - yet another raytraced train
 
Hi all, A while back I asked here about identifying a certain train that I'd seen in Koeln. It seems I may have had the wrong picture (it was tiny) but the answers certainly helped me find the train I was after: a DB 425 EMU. I started this project (...)

  Re: LDA2005 Progress Report
 
October 15, 2005 Not much work done the last two weeks. But at least I've added ldr support, and set .ldr extension as default in most cases. I've changed my mind again. Now I think MDPs can be a great idea when defining objects and their properties (...) (19 years ago, 15-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) October 2, 2005 Dear Diary, Most of this weekend, I've worked on the L3P Options panel instead of playing around with the program as planned.

  LDA2005 Progress Report
 
I am getting really excited over how fast progress is made just a couple of days from project restart. The strange thing is that what takes most time is to build the models for the scenes. Animation is relatively quickly done. Datsville as scenery (...) (19 years ago, 30-Sep-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation)
