  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Well, it certainly sounds logical, but I thought that was what 'filter' did. Well, let me have a look at the documentation. ... Here we are: The 4th component, called filter, specifies the amount of filtered transparency of a substance. Some (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Did you make it more transparent for the full spectrum, or just red and/or green? If you didn't increase the transparency for blue at the same time, maybe it's allowing orange light through while causing blue to reflect. (...) If my theory is (...)

  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) I was trying to make the flame pieces a little more transparent. I thought there were a little too "strong." It was just a little overbearing. I've used rgbt to great success before with the (URL) Town Square Fountain>, so I thought I'd try it (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) That is pretty cool looking, in a somewhat indefinable way. (...) Can we at least ask you what you were trying to do? Which part of it were you not expecting to happen? (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) No, I was editing the properties of the transparent color using Transmit. The only code I changed was for Color57, here: #ifndef (Color57) #declare Color57 = #if (version >= 3.1) material { #end texture { pigment { [rgbt < 1,0.4,0,.8 >] #if (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: "Illusions"
 
(...) Can you upload the pov-file? I'm sure the answer is hidden in there :) I think that you have used the "looks like" option of a light. I had always problems with that option and got nearly similar results. (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) The concept is 4 years old. The newest version of Datsville I could find is less than a month old: (URL) How did you make your animation? I moved the camera along a spline curve. This technique is really useful once you learn how to do it (the (...) (21 years ago, 29-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) I have thought of using Datsville also. (URL) to be 4 years old. Is that right? How did you make your animation? Isn't there suppose to be issues rendering Datsville because of the size? Or is that 4 year old technology problems... ;) James (21 years ago, 29-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Annoying Reflections
 
(...) That explains a lot. Thanks. I tried Todd's normals suggestion and it worked pretty well. I needed some texture anyway.

  Animation using Datsville
 
All the recent animation work has prompted me to start my Drive Through Datsville project.

  Re: Annoying Reflections
 
(...) Your problem is that the Radiosity include uses it's own color library (unless you'rs using Color Library option 0). There are 2 solutions, one easy and one tedious. The easy solution is to use Color Library option 0. This will have POV-Ray (...) (21 years ago, 28-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Annoying Reflections

Already using that. :( (...) I tried that with the last MLCAD scene but (...) (21 years ago, 28-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: Annoying Reflections
 
(...) 2 options (apart from Todd's suggestion): 1. Turn the QUAL value to 1 (first uncommented line on any L3P-generated file) QUAL 2 simply(?) *adds reflections* to parts, while QUAL 3 adds reflections and Lego logos to their studs 2.

  Annoying Reflections
 
Hello all, It's 12:32am right this minute, so this is going to be very short. My bedtime was a looong time ago. But the last thirty minutes have been well-spent: I've redesigned an MLCAD scene and it looks much, much better. Except for one thing. It (...) (21 years ago, 28-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
