Hi all,

With Anton's announcement of a new library and the question that followed I
realised that perhaps it would be a good idea to compile all the LEGO part
POVray work people have done into one thread.

I'm aware of LGEO and Anton's library as well as a few custom parts I've made to
improve my own renders but I know that other people like Thomas Burger make
custom POVray parts too. I'm sure that some work has been duplicated
unneccesarily so hopefully collating as much as possible in one thread should
reduce this in future.

So... post links or references to any POVray parts libraries you have made or
know of. If you've made something but not uploaded it then please upload and
post here (this applied to me too I'm ashamed to say).

Ah yes, I see...

Still the old rivality ;-) between different approaches.
I have not even used my own library for years, not to speak
of development. Reasons were university to finish, a relation,
a job and a Bricklink store to get the money for a living.
I did not do anything LEGO related as a hobby anymore.
Finished university, got a job and not to have to deal with
LEGO for a living anymore brought me back to the hobby side
of it, and so also to my old LGEO stuff. Talking to Tim in
Berlin TSL 2006 (I think thas was you?!) was the first event
for years to think think of LGEO again at all...

Currently, I am preparing a relaunch after fixing known errors
in parts and problem with renamed parts (e.g. Tiles now with a
and b suffix will not be converted to LGEO by L3P at all, though
they exist without suffix)

I appreciate Anton's effort, especially in the minifig section,
which is big field mostly neglected in LGEO. Perhaps there will
be a solution to combine it all.

My old website still has the old LGEO stuff on it, the links from
ldraw.org still work. As said, I prepare a relaunch, mostly because
I need the stuff again a project I am working on.

As I switched to Mac recently, and L3P does a good job, I will not
support or develop the old converter L2P in the future. I will focus
on the library. I hope for myself to get this thing running again,
with new parts and whatever.


To all those who still use my parts, it is always great to see it.
Thanks for this, makes me feel good and motivates to get it on again.
My apalogies for being quiet all those years.

When my site relaunch is done, I will announce here.

Regards, Lutz
