  Re: *BIG* Update!
 
Mirage is now my background :-) Excellent job! I just remebered I have a website. I suppose I should update it, eh? :-D (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  DAT for my AM General HMMWV
 
I started canabalizing parts, so I decided it was time to LDraw the model. POV: (3 URLs) Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu (URL) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray) ! 
 
  Re: POVray orthographic optimization
 
I'm having trouble running L3P at the moment. I'm running Win98. I've created an autoexec.bat file that include set LDRAWDIR statements. However, something's gone haywire, and those init strings aren't being carried over to L3P. As soon as I get (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  RE: POVray orthographic optimization
 
(...) Hmm, maybe your lights are too close to the model? Move them further away, and brighten them if necessary. If that doesn't help, try posting your code for the lights, camera, etc, and a sample output image, and I'll see if I can figure out (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Datsville continuation - more ideas
 
(...) And the results are: 16 original ttore.dat's @ 800x600: 3 min 56 sec 16 simplifed ldbox.dat's @ 800x600: 1 min 26 sec I think it's worth keep working on! /Tore (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Datsville continuation - more ideas
 
(...) I don't know. That's why I asked. :o) I will try to render a lot of ttore.dat's in a model and compare the time used to the time used to render the same model with box replacements. (...) Yes, but how do we accomplish that still avoiding bad (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Datsville continuation - more ideas
 
(...) Doesn't POVray do this inately? After all, at some point POVray has to decide which information it will display, and which information it will not display. Wouldn't it speed up the rendering process even more if all LDraw models were turned (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: POVray orthographic optimization
 
(...) No, the halo is everywhere - on all objects, the floor, etc. It's not horridly grotesque. It just looks a little like a water stain - like someone spilt water on a piece of paper. (...) Well, this won't really solve the problem, though it may (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  RE: POVray orthographic optimization
 
(...) Hey, cool, my untested suggestion actually works :) (...) Is the halo on the floor? Solution 1: Get rid of the floor. Solution 2: Add more lights (an area light for example) to light more of the floor, and maybe add a light colored fog to make (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Datsville continuation - more ideas
 
Here's a first working version of what I was thinking about: (URL) *.box files have to be in the P, Parts, Models, or LDraw BaseDirectory. The boxes.lst file has to be in the LDraw BaseDirectory. Will it make life easier for the POV-Ray engine? (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

  New animation
 
I recently got an old version of lightwave (5.6) running. I used a ldraw to lightwave conversion utility and made this little test rendering. The file features a flyby by one of my microfig space ships in a star field. Its 1141KB so if your (...) (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)

  POVray orthographic optimization
 
Hi, I'm trying to render an orthographic image that looks nice using POVray. I've followed Bram L.'s recommendations. They are: 1) Uncomment the "orthographic" keyword in the camera {} block. This will get rid of the perspective in the images (...) (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
