  Re: More color problems
 
(...) No, those 2 lines have to do with the type of light in the scene. Have a read in the POV Scene help file for an explantion of ambient and diffuse light. -Orion (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) Which makes sense when you compare the two renders and notice that the second one (with the IoR at zero) has a much more crystal-like sceptre. I don't know how much of an L3P-produced POV file is original POV code and how much is (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) You're right, I was mistaken. The IOR deals with the transparency. -Orion (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) I don't know POV, but I do know that index of refraction (IoR) shouldn't have any effect on reflections. Perhaps it does, but it shouldn't. You need do decrease the reflectivity, not the IoR. The IoR controls how much light bends when it (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) L3P generates exactly the same color definition for 47, 0x06FFFFFF and 0x03FFFFFF, so normally it shouldn't matter which color you use. However, you include "ldraw_radiosity.inc" which again includes "LDRAW_RAD_COLORl.inc", and in this file (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) The first problem is that I don't know where to get those, and I've never figured out whether they're included with the radiosity stuff...are they? (...) The problem is that the sky sphere still creates shadows. :( (...) Well, I tried that and (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) I noticed that in the radiosity code you're using option 1 for the color library. You could try option 2 which is Todd's LUGNET color includes (...) You might consider using shadowless lights (...) Since you using the radiosity include, (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) And here it is: (URL) The white minifig has turned out beautifully - though the sceptre isn't as clear as I would like. Oh well. Maybe I should just stick with solid white. The problem is that any shadows make the minifig look like it's just a (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: More color problems
 
(...) Orion, This helps a lot - and fixes that problem. I'll remember to use the actual transparent colors in future! I'll post the full render when my sluggish computer actually decides to do something here. Thanks again, ~Mike (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: LPub and MegaPOV again
 
(...) There is NO need to uninstall POV-Ray 3.5! You can have POV 3.1g and 3.5 on the same PC. The ALL-IN-ONE-INSTALLER will attempt to install MEGAPOV into your POV 3.1g directory but if it does not find it it will create it's own folder. Okay here (...)
