That is cool. I have family in San Diego also. I used to go to Hawaii a lot
when I lived in California. Now that I am in Texas it is a little harder to
travel out that way.

Do you plan on adding per part angle tolerance for the mesh enhancer? If you
do I would be willing to help by going through all the parts and determining
an appropriate angle tolerance.

OK, I will try those radiosity settings. How do I use those? Do I just add
an #include radiosity.inc below the Dif statement like I do for the FastRad?

OK, that explains it. So I guess I will have to wait for your L3PAO style
program and L3p 1.4 to be able to have that functionality or is that
something I have to hand tweak?

I am glad you guys are so open to sharing your techniques. I find LEGO
rendering very interesting. I am very new to this but trying to learn very
quickly. I am looking forward to learning HDRI techniques.
