    Re: Transparent colors in POV-Ray —Roland Melkert
   (...) so I replaced it by trans white in the animation I was working on (The "Experiment" sample of LD4DStudio.). I'm now using: //----Texture for LDraw color 47 "clear" #declare color47 = texture { pigment { rgbft <1.0000, 1.0000, 1.0000, 0.9000, (...) (15 years ago, 13-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: Transparent colors in POV-Ray —Michael Heidemann
     (...) When do you think 1.1 is available????? I am waiting for film export!!! Ok, I think your problem can't be solved because the surfaces meet exactly the same plane. So the renderer has to decide which color to take. As both are exactly the same (...) (15 years ago, 13-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)

      (...) I'm working on some last bugs, the installer and a final sample, every thing else is done. So if the application 'survives' during this last sample I will release it this week. Roland (15 years ago, 13-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) Probably first-come, first-served which is essentially random as far as the user is concerned. As an idea you might be able to work around the problem by shrinking all studs in the completed model. Shrinking them by a couple of percent would (...)

         Re: Transparent colors in POV-Ray —Kevin L. Clague
     (...) I thought that l3p did shrink all the dimensions a little bit, so that two adjacent brick's co-planar surfaces don't appear as one surface. I quote from the L3P web page: Seams between bricks To have more realistic renderings L3P can make a (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)
    
         Re: Transparent colors in POV-Ray —Roland Melkert
     (...) L3P shrinks whole highlevel parts, thats a feature I was planning to implement later. But if you shrink the whole part the window and brick will still share the same stud dimensions. Shrinking only the studs could cause problems later on when (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)
    
         Re: Transparent colors in POV-Ray —Timothy Gould
     (...) I'd say that a nice temporary solution would be just to allow a simple stud shrinking option for L3P generated studs and let people deal with LGEO separately. LGEO has less problems in this regard anyway as many of the parts are created as (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)

   (...) the real word value), I think part of the flickering is reflections/refractions of the moving cogs. Also, it might help to raise the window a tiny amount (or shrink it) so that the bottom of the transparent part is numerically above the top of (...) (15 years ago, 13-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: Transparent colors in POV-Ray —Roland Melkert
   (...) Shrinking/moving the parts seems like the best way to reduce the flickering, so I'm planning to implement that in the 1.2 version of my program. I guess it's also somewhat a post processing issue depending on how much of a perfectionist the (...) (15 years ago, 14-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)
