  Re: How do I...? 3 questions about POV-Ray.
 
Thanks, guys, for the quick responses. The color 256 in MLCad advice works great. As for the suggestion regarding the "finish { reflection {0.0} ambient 0.5 diffuse 1 } line, where would I insert it in the POV-ray code? I've been learning somethings (...)

Daniel, You can do whatever you want if you dare to edit the POV file before rendering. POVRay isn't that difficult to fafthom, and there are lots of things you can do that creates a better render. Like this: (URL) for example (I think I can still (...) (16 years ago, 12-May-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Hi Daniel, It has to do with the lighting model. There are three components that are factored and then summed to get the total brightness of a given pixel: ambient - light that comes from all directions. On a sunny day on the north side of (...) (16 years ago, 12-May-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Use LDraw color number 256 (black rubber) for the tires. I'm not sure about your other questions. --Travis (16 years ago, 12-May-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: How do I...? 3 questions about POV-Ray.
 
(...) The best solution is to use the LGEO library ((URL) which can be a bit of a hassle to install but improves very many things in your renders. (...) I'm not sure that this is possible. Since a blue sky emits blue light it will affect the scene. (...) (16 years ago, 12-May-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  How do I...? 3 questions about POV-Ray.
 
Just a few questions that I've been having a need to be answered. If anyone can help me out.....? Something that I've never liked about my renders in POV-Ray is that the bricks are way too reflective. Sometimes they're as reflective as the mirrored (...)

  Re: Making a plane transparent?????
 
(...) I have some water scenes here - (URL) POV code is also there. Maybe it can give you some ideas. NOTE: These scenes are old, and some POV commands may have to be changed, I haven't tried them for a long time. (17 years ago, 10-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Making a plane transparent?????
 
I'm trying to make a scene in POV-Ray with the underwater divers showing through the water. Camera is positioned above the camera. I'm trying to figure out how to make the water transparent. Here's the coding for the floor so far. (Go easy on me (...) (17 years ago, 10-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)
