One thing I noticed with the DAT explorer is that POV rendered images
look _MUCH_ better with the lossless PNG format thatn with JPEG.
Perhaps appropriate use of the JPEG smoothing function would help
the the tests I did looked bad even at 100% quality.

Is there any desire to have povray rendered images for each part?

IMHO, the best thing is having both (a) super-quick-loading GIFs and (b)
high-quality POV JPEGs, and then letting the user decide which one to view.
A while back, someone even suggested having spinning/rotating POV-rendered
images for each part in MPEG, or DAT->VRML conversions...  :)

I'm not super-duper POV-fluent, but if anyone wants to make POV-rendered
versions of the LDraw parts, I can stick 'em in the partsref as an alternate
view, if that's OK with Steve.
