  Re: I'm sure one of you has already worked this out...
 
(...) It is the antialiasing that is causing this problem. I think there are only two ways around this. Either turn off antialiasing, or switch from chroma-key compositing to transparency-based compositing and make the background transparent. You (...)

  I'm sure one of you has already worked this out...
 
I'm currently making minifig animations for a freeware computer game. Here's an example picture: (URL) you can see, I am using bright pink (255,0,255) as my transparency colour. (I set it as 'background' in LP3Add-on) The only problem is, when I (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: LPub and Mega-POV Question
 
(...) Hi Kevin, I hope you don't mind a question. I read your comments above and was thinking I might like to transition to that path for creating instructions. I've used Mega POV-Ray for a long time, but my goal is, as you note, just to have the (...) (18 years ago, 28-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: LPub and Mega-POV Question
 
(...) I was not aware of that! I had simply assumed that Megapov 2.11 had that same feature. No wonder it wasn't outlining my models... (...) Thank you very much for that information. I just downloaded both programs. Thanks, David (19 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: LPub and Mega-POV Question
 
(...) I will second Kevin's suggestion of changing to ldview or ldglite. They produce excellent instruction pics and I think they look much better than MegaPOV with edge-lines for instructions. That said, I would strongly recommend backing up all (...) (19 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: LPub and Mega-POV Question
 
(...) Hi David, From what I remember, MEGA-POV 0.7 is the last one that had the edge line capabilities. It was dropped in the follow on version of MEG_POV and I don't know if subsequent versions ever brought it back. So, if you're set on ray tracing (...) (19 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: LEGO error with POV-RAY
 
(...) (snip) (...) Hi Reuven, Sorry if the LPub dialog is not very helpful, but the interface between LPub and POV-Ray is by definition not very communicative. LPub does not perform renders on its own, it uses external renderers to get the job done. (...) (19 years ago, 26-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) (snip) (...) (snip) OK, so I tried your method. The good news: I got it to work. The bad news: not on my model. So first for the good news. I used the pyramid model that comes with LDraw.

  LEGO error with POV-RAY
 
Hi Everyone, I'm a first time poster, so forgive me if my question is a bit simple. I haven't been able to use the LGEO parts library. In L3PAO, I check the -lgeo box. In POV-RAY, in the "POV-RAY for Windows Render Settings" dialog box, In the (...) (19 years ago, 25-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  LPub and Mega-POV Question
 
Hello all, I'm trying to render using POV-Ray 3.6 and Mega-POV 1.21 or 1.1, and I am having some technical difficulties. First, I have the following installed on my computer: LPub version 2.4.8.0 (works fine) Pov-Ray 3.1 (works great) Mega-POV 0.7 (...) (19 years ago, 25-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Stereograms of my Space and Vignette MOCs
 
Something kind of weird... you can create a similar effect with two identical 3D objects. For example, take two identical pens, hold them so they converge towards you, and cross your eyes. If you adjust the angle of the pens, and the distance, and (...) (19 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
