(...) I'ts not too difficult to incorporate LGEO and L3P in the same POV file. I've done it once to get a high level of details in a wallpaper rendering: (URL) was surprised that noone mentioned this.) What you basically need to do to cram LGEO (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Good idea, I have thought of it myself too :-) But I have postponed the implementation because I was hoping for an integration of LGEO and L3P: the effort writing POV replacements for LDraw parts naturally belongs in (...)

  Re: User POV substitutions in L3P
 
(...) It sounds as a good idea since the parts/primitives libraries will need updates only when new l-cad updates are released.
