  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) Well, can you create a POV-Ray file which will automatically read in an LDraw MPD file and use settings files or maybe even a GUI to select submodels from the MPD file and render those to several picture files? That would be an interesting (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) Neat. I look forward to this, because I've been meaning to learn more about POV-Ray. I've been putting off doing final renderings for my recent LDraw models because POV-Ray has been a bit of a black box. Your point about its relative (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) Why not learn POV-Ray? If you know VB or C# or any language for that matter, POV-Ray is really simple compared to them (much less syntax to learn). I'm creating a new LDraw POV-Ray video tutorial that I hope to get online today or sometime (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) Hi, your programme is written with Visual Basic? By now, I'm thinking about creating a little tool for doing some kind of "batch rendering of several submodels from certain camera positions" and automatical combination of those rendered (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) My L3PGen program supports this. When you open a MPD file, it will show a list of all the "models" at the top allowing you to select which to rerender. (URL) and all feedback is welcome. Thanks (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: POVray LEGO
 
(...) Yes that was me and it's great to have you back. I always use LGEO for my renders because of the high quality which is one reason I started this thread... I want more parts to match LGEO's standards :) (...) That would be optimal in my (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: POVray LEGO
 
(...) 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 (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) Hi, well, the first model is for sure my main model, but I'd like to provide some other views of my main model, too - for example, if my submodels are several modules of a starship, I'd like to be the main model the docked version, and another (...)

  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) I think it should be mentioned that the MPD format was specifically designed to allow you to encapsulate all of the submodels of one single model into a single file for convenient transmission to others. It wasn't designed to allow for (...) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: L3P question concerning MPD files
 
(...) If you want to render a sub-model use the MLcad Multi-part export feature to export the sub-model to it's own file, then run that through l3p. ROSCO (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
