Hi Niels, I recently did this tutorial as well.

I think I had the exact same problem. I did get it to work, and the answer was
rather odd. This is the text that you are pasting into your POV file from the
tutorial, correct?
#version unofficial MegaPov 1.10;
#declare LDRAW_RAD_LEVEL = 5;
#declare LDRAW_MTL = 10;
#declare INDEXOFREFRACTION=1.52;
#declare LDRAW_RAD_NORMAL = off;
#declare LDRAW_RAD_MEDIA = off;
#include “rad_def.inc”
global_settings {
assumed_gamma 1.4
max_trace_level LDRAW_MTL
adc_bailout 0.01/2
radiosity {
Rad_Settings(LDRAW_RAD_LEVEL, LDRAW_RAD_NORMAL, LDRAW_RAD_MEDIA)
}
}
sky_sphere {
pigment {
gradient -y
color_map {
[ 1 rgb 1 ]
}
}
}
Okay, here's the trick that worked for me. Got to the line that says #include
“rad_def.inc” on your POV file and delete both of the quotation marks. Now add
the quotations again in the exact same places. You'll notice that the quotations
marks and rad_def.inc turn a bright red color when you add them again.
The problem was that when I was copying the code from the Brick Journal and then
pasting it in my POV file, POV-Ray wasn't properly recognizing the quotation
marks around "rad_def.inc". When I added the quotations marks again, then they
got recognized.
Hope this helps!

| (...) LOL! You're right, I simply forgot the FIRST rule when copying ANY code (from the internet): Always copy-paste via notepad to avoid crappy tags. Thanks a lot David, now excuse me for a while: gotta stand in the corner being ashamed of myself (...) (18 years ago, 2-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad.ray)
