Hi, I'm trying to produce a realistic minifig head with povray. I tried severals head parts in MLcad but the result after conversion with L3P is always not very good. I tried LGEO parts but it is too old and only supports a very early version of the (...) (17 years ago, 1-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) In Windows XP, they should be set by Control Panel / System / Advanced / Environment variables. I put mine in the system variable section. Earlier versions of Windows may be different, although I seem to remember it was always similar. ROSCO (17 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Yes, it did the trick! I just pasted "SET LDRAWDIR=F:\LDraw" into the batch file and L3P went nicely back to work. Now I have to figure out how to remind Windows please to use its enviroment variables... Thanks again! /Tore (17 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Sometimes Windows seems to have a hard time remembering environment variables in DOS boxes (I'm sure there's some long, complicated and stupid system to it). Maybe add something to set them to the batch files and see if it works. Tim (17 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I thought it was, but in this case it wasn't. The color 24 line can be skipped. And the double pigment declaration was just a pure mistake; one definition is of course sufficient. :) /Tore (17 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Good to know. Thanks! (...) I kind of recall that. In some cases, I've seen that L3P ignores an LDraw file with just Type 0 lines. I haven't checked if the IFPOV code makes it not ignore C13-73.dat, but I just did it in a routine manner. /Tore (17 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
