Hey Y'all: Not at all Lego related, but I just thought some of you POV or CAD people might also like some animation action: (URL) you say, "Big Daddy Roth..."? -- Richard (sitting here giggling as he replays it, and replays it, and replays it...)

(...) Sweet! Since POV renderings take a while, and that you'd need a POV for each step anyway, I'm wondering if all the L3P output could be saved, e.g. STEP0001.POV, STEP0002.POV, etc. Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
