 | | New POV-Ray Edge Tracing Utility —Trevor Hewer
|
| | | Hello all, Just browsing the POV-Ray homepage and came across a link to a utility called POV-Edge. It consists of a standalone Windows application and a POV-Ray macro. It’s basically an edge tracer, creating images that appear to be sketched or (...) (16 years ago, 15-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

| | | | (...) It looks quite interesting, and the technical description makes it sound like it does things the "right" way, so the quality can be quite high. Having said that, it won't work with L3P output with primitive substitution, because it only (...) (16 years ago, 15-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

I looked at the mesh2 syntax, and changing to using it wouldn't really be trivial (although it probably wouldn't be all that difficult). Bear in (...) (16 years ago, 18-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Here's a quote from the POV-Ray documentation: "Triangle mesh objects (mesh and mesh2) can now be used in CSG objects such as difference and intersect, because, after adding inside_vector, they do have a defined 'inside'. This will only work (...) (16 years ago, 24-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)
