I’m working on a different rendering method (for instructions) using POV-Ray,
and I wanted to get some opinions about the output. On that note, I have two
sample renderings in two different sizes, and I’d like to get people’s feedback.
Note that I’m purposely not saying anything about how they were created (other
than the fact that POV-Ray was used), because that would affect the results in a
way that I’m not ready for yet. (I have at least one specific thing that I want
to see if people notice, but if I say anything more, I won’t get good data.) I
will follow up this post later with more details (hopefully after having gotten
responses).
Version 1:
1600x1200
800x600
Version 2:
1600x1200
800x600
I’m particularly interested in problems you might see with either or both of the
images. There are definitely problems; I’m curious about how obvious they are.

| (...) For me, the keypoint here is "for instructions". Anything that remove legibility to the image should be avoided. In both versions conditional lines are not rendered. Not a huge problem here, could become one on models with many rounded (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

| (...) For instructions I'd definitely choose Version 1, for nice pictures Version 2 minus the hard, black edges and a little less shiny. As the other's have said: - too dark in the black. Actually, to me the whole picture is too dark - which monitor (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| (...) On my monitor, version 1 certainly looks cleaner and sharper. I will be interested to see how you accomplished this. It might get me back into creating instructions again, which is something I have stopped doing because I was getting so (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

| (...) In my opinion, both images are unusable for instructions. Prefering legibility over realism (though a bit of "realism" is still needed to even recognize the shapes), I put down some universal rules for creating instructions of virtually any (...)
