(...) Hi Koyan, I have made an attempt to try HDRI lighting and I am not sure if I am doing things correctly or not. Could you look over what I am doing and let me know if I am doing anything wrong? Here is what I have done so far: (1) Installed (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I have two comments. First of all, I see in your non-blurred render that the POVRay you have doesn't have Lars Hassing's Torus Patch. Take a look at this page, where Lars describes the problem, and provides the fix: (URL) that the fix is included in (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I got this to work in POVRay 3.5. I am not sure if it will work for other versions. Here is a test render of Xpod set 4415 with focal blur: (URL) is the same set rendered without focal blur and with some slightly different light settings: (URL) is (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) If you click the "More" button next to the 16 standard colour buttons, you get a dialog that displays all MLCad's colours. The colour box can be scrolled to reveal them. Hovering your mouse over a colour swatch pops up the colour name, (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) You'll find that many of the colors on that list are already recognized by MLCad. For instance, if you type 383 in as a color number, and then hit Tab, it shows Chrome as the color name. Of course, this isn't all that helpful, since you had to (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I usually write that as: 0.1*<1.0,1.0,1.0> which makes it much easier to adjust the brightness, especially if you're using coloured lights (or many lights). Remember that the sum of all lights used should be in the vicinity of 1.0, too much (...) (19 years ago, 26-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Thank you for the info Travis. Is there a configuration file or a way I can enter all these color values into MLCAD so each time I use it the appropriate color names and color numbers are already in the MLCAD color picker? - John [SNIP] (...)

OK, I think I found a partial answer to my question. It looks like I can cross reference LEGO part colors to LDRAW color numbers here: (URL) opens another question for me though.

(...) If the color has an LDraw color number, you can just type the number into the Color number field in the MLCad "Select color" dialog. Many colors won't have numbers, but chrome silver and gold both do. Take a look at this color list, which (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
