   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 cell-shaded. Could lead to interesting results when used with LEGO subjects. No Mac version in the works, so I’m unable to try it. Please post any results you get!

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 supports one type of POV primitive: mesh2. I’m pretty sure l3p uses the mesh POV primitive, not mesh2 for other geometry, so it won’t even work if primitive substitution is disabled.

(...) Could L3P be modified to use the mesh2 primitive? I notice also that L3P doesn't output the "insidevector" parameter, so LDraw creations can't be used in CSG operations. This is disappointing. -Mike (16 years ago, 17-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
