There are more then one issue with the files and code specified in the tutorial. I found them all, so here is the required fixes to make them work.

Step 1.) Assuming you have downloaded the proper files: Begin by opening the POV-Ray master ini file from the edit master POVRAY.ini option from the tools menu in POV-Ray. Place the tag:

Library_Path="drive:\whatever the path is\lg_colors"

You should now have the following tags in the ini file

Library_Path="drive:\whatever the path is\LGEO"

Library_Path="drive:\whatever the path is\lg_colors"


Step 2.) To use the new colors find the two #include tags for LGEO library which are defs. and color. add a “s” to the color one to make it “colors.inc.” Save the file and render away using the new color definitions. It any errors occur see step 3.

Step 3.) **Ignore if everything works fine.** If the colors ini causes an error that says “unable to open the first color inc file”, it is because the formatting in the file got screwed up and needs fixing. It may be as simple as removing some duplicate “#includes”

Also if the Radiosity lighting command string causes an error on this line: Rad Settings(LDRAW RAD LEVEL, LDRAW RAD NORMAL, LDRAW RAD MEDIA), it is because of a formatting that split of some of the defs. It is another easy fix.

I hope this helps anyone who has problems following the tutorial.
