 | 
| Hi All, Just thought I'd send this out. I'm sure most of you know this but for those who don't it is a huge disk space and upload/download time saver. By adding "+FN" to the POV or MegaPOV command line or click on the big "INI" button in the Windows (...)   (24 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| (...) (URL) is an example of a scene that used LGEo parts and has other stuff in it. You can make it more complex by adding 'better' terrain using FORESETR or TERRAGEN to it. This one took 4 minutes to render. POV has has problem when it must figure (...)   (24 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| (...) My computer has Win98se, 64Mb memory and I never encountered problems with LGEO parts. Probably 32Mb is sufficient for models below 1000 parts. I estimate one could render all official lego models using only 32Mb. Damien    (24 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I've tested POV on a dual-P3-650Mhz (256MB RAM) machine and a) (...)   (24 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

 | 
| What is the minimum memory a computer needs to render a POV-file with LGEO-parts? 128Mb? 256? more? I know it depends on the size of the file, but is there a sort of guide for it? I need to know for the REND101 manual. Jeroen    (24 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| In January Lars told me that he wants to finish porting L3P to linux first, and then he will focus on the Mac. I offered to help, but he wants to control the code and he has a friend who is a Mac programmer who will help him. I don't see why this (...)
