I need help. I am to ray-tracing Lego models. I haven’t done ray tracing
for about 7-8 years, and want to ray-trace the models I created in MLCad. I
have installed L3P, L3PAO, and POVRAY onto my computer. Everything seems to
work fine with L3PAO when I select the model I ray traced. I just want to
use a default from L3PAO and then play with it after POVRAY does the quick
render. When I press the “Run L3P” button, the L3P window pops-up
momentarily. Then Povray opens, and then it does some stuff, but I’m
getting error messages. Here IS what I get in the top bow with white
background:

I am lost with this stuff. When I did ray tracing, it was in its toddler
years when you did complex fomulas in this primative program. I was really
good at it, but have forgot most of it. Is this problem due to a mix-up
with the camera, lighting source, or is it importing the model incorrectly?
Am I do something wrong with L3PAO? You’re help is greatly appreciated. If
there is anyone in the NYC area that I could talk to over the phone to walk
me through this, please let me know. Thanks.
