  Re: Free-Form Camera Positioning with MLCAD, L3P, and POV-RAY
 
(...) No, L3P uses the LDraw coordinate system. This was an important design goal. L2P (LGEO) uses its own coordinate system. Otherwise a good description. You might also want to tell about the QUAL and STUDS variables in the POV file, used for (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Yes I seem to remember that one of the older versions created targas as output. I had a hard time converting them : ( "Dave Schuler" <orrex@excite.com> wrote in message news:G5zoq1.Huz@lugnet.com... (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Urgent help with POV needed...
 
(...) POV-RAY automatically "saves" the image as a BitMap file ("*.bmp") in the directory that you specified when you installed POVRAY (in my case, it was "\povray\images\"). You must then use the image/photo editor of your choice to convert the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Urgent help with POV needed...
 
I'm having some POV trouble, I'm a newbie at Raytracing, so bare with me. I get the image I want rendered OK, but I don't know how to save the IMAGE. I can save the POV file, but not the image. Please Help, I need this by Sunday for a christmas (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: "Cartoon" renderings??
 
(...) If you download a new rendering engine for POV-Ray called "MegoPOV", it includes post-process filters. The one used in the renders you referenced is an edge detect filter. If you read back through the .CAD news you'll find a conversation we (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  "Cartoon" renderings??
 
G'day folks, I've noticed a bunch of renderings around that look a little cartoonish. Notably all of the pieces have edgelines. Here's an (awesome!) example: (URL) the rendering doesn't look like a photorender, as the colours and shadows are very (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Free-Form Camera Positioning with MLCAD, L3P, and POV-RAY
 
Yes - It would be great to have a camera file. We would need a "lookat" file as well. Thanks again Michael for such an excellent piece of software. I have to say that (besides LEGO), its one of the best toys I've ever had! Brad Michael Lachmann (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Free-Form Camera Positioning with MLCAD, L3P, and POV-RAY
 
I've never tried to use camera options until now, but I think we can enhance that if we have a camera-file (like the light.dat) which L3P counts in. This way it's easy to define the camera - position and orientation ... Regarding the description (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Free-Form Camera Positioning with MLCAD, L3P, and POV-RAY
 
Hi, This is a little write-up I did on free-form positioning of the camera. It is taken from several posts by myself and others on LUGNET. Tim Courtney has asked for new material for www.ldraw.org focusing on MLCAD, L3P and POV-RAY, so I offered to (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
