Well, like HAL 9000 had difficulties handling contradicting orders,
POV apparently has too! The following extract from the model:
> 0 FILE wl_lhand.dat

> 0 FILE wl_claw.dat
> 1 0 0 0 -30 1 -0.00 0 -0.00 -1 0 0 0 -1 2880.DAT
is converted by L3P to:
#declare wl__claw_dot_dat = object {
object { _2880_dot_dat matrix <...> matrix <...> material/texture { Color0 } }
}
#declare wl__lhand_dot_dat = union {
...
object { wl__claw_dot_dat matrix <...> material/texture { Color14 } }
}
In wl__lhand_dot_dat L3P tells POV to render wl__claw_dot_dat
using Color14, but wl__claw_dot_dat says: use Color0 for 2880.
In LDraw the rule is clear, use Color0. But the result varies in POV,
sometime Color0, sometimes Color14 - maybe dependent on the
number of other objects in the object/union.
To avoid problems, apply color once!
Use color 16 when referencing submodels that uses colors.
(Try changing color in all references to wl_xxx to 16)
