Hi,
I'm trying to produce a realistic minifig head with povray. I tried severals
head parts in MLcad but the result after conversion with L3P is always not very
good. I tried LGEO parts but it is too old and only supports a very early
version of the minifig head.
I tried the mesh enhancer from L. Teichert. The result is a little bit better
but still looks not very realistic. Espacially the upper part of the head still
has a lot of corners. And the mouth seems to disappear with mesh enhancer?!
L. Teichert is unreachable under his old mail addy...he has a small gallery with
really nice minifig renderings. So I think there is a way to reach a better
result.
Every idea or hint is very welcome!

Taking the risk of being flamed again, I recall there were some minifig heads
made using inline POV-code for use in L3P. If they can be spotted or reproduced,
you (and I) will have very realistic minifig heads without compromizing the
enourmous advantage of L3P's simplicity and resource economy.
