(...) Hi Peter, Thanks for all the good info. What version of Windows are you running on? If you send me your DATs, I can try to run them here. Also send me your config.lpb from the LPub install directory. Kevin <snip> (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I don't know if it will give you the effect you want, but you can probably improve that particular part by bumping up the ambient lighting term (assuming POV has an ambient term). You may have to also decrease the brightness of your lights if you do (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
