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 surfaces.
- Black is too dark/uniform. Lighter edgelines?
- The complex transparency effect in the rounded edge of the windscreen is nice but brings nothing to legibility
Version 2
- shadow makes the image more complex. To be avoided in instructions!
- No details in tires (the shiny look of V1 is not realistic, but clearer)
- reflections of studs on bricks also makes the image less understandable
The clear winner for me is version 1.
Silly question - why don’t you use LDView???

| 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 (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
