1) Open your POV-RAY file. 2) Look in the Upper-Left corner/section. 3) It says [160x120, NoAA] or some other resolution. 4) Click on that. 5) Pick the resolution from the drop-down list/menu. Hope this helps. ;-) (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

I have just done my first Pov-Ray rendering using LP3. It has turned out nicely except for the fact that it is very small. Can I increase the size of the model in MLCAD/Ledit? Can I increase the size of the model in POV-RAY? Thanks Carl Watson (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

I don't know how to get different lighting in PovRay. I tried the light.dat files in my models but I only seem to get the standard lighting made by L3P. Could someone try to explain how to use light.dat files? Many many many thanks in advance, Jay (24 years ago, 10-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)

I'll give it a twirl!! No more DXF's!!! I use 3DS MAX, but have Polytrans, so conversions from LWO to MAX is a snap.
