Hi, I'm trying to render an image using isometric perspective in POVray. Is this possible? Thanks! Mike (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) In the POV file find your models 'object' line. In an unmodified L3P generated file, it will be near the bottom of the file, directly above the line that says //background: It will look something like this: object { my_model_name #if (version (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Is it possible in POV-Ray to change the scale of an object, i.e. to shrink it? Here's what I want to do. I have a micro-fig scale space cruiser and I want to have flying next to it a minifig scale fighters. Since in real-life these two models are (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

How do u get roads and craters in POV-RAY? I have made a hover shuttle that has to travel on old roads. and a moon base that has to well, go on a moon. HOW U DO THAT IN POVRAY?! The Order is powerful. The order is the Way (24 years ago, 15-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Link is good. I just checked it. The animations come in two flavors: Mediaplayer and Quicktime. And its the full 3 1/2 minutes of the cartoon. What can I say? -- Richard (24 years ago, 15-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.cad.ray)

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...)

(...) Yeah, and the docs aren't the best, either. Do you know of any decent tutorials for the 3.1 language? Online or book would be great, but all I've seen is stuff for 3.0... Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It is much more sane to use POV-Ray's animation system to do this automatically. That way, you could issue one POV-Ray command and render all the instruction steps in one run, using only one POV-file. I have suggested this to Lars C Hassing, (...)

(...) 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)

(...) Actually, it shouldn't take much change to LDAO. Just an additional loop to spit out a DAT file for each step, then use L3P to translate it, and POV-Ray to render it. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.dev)
