(...) You can use many lights, and still have a single shadow by making all lights but one 'shadowless' (a modifier to the POV light description). I often put a (not too bright) shadowless light at the same position as the camera, to make sure (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

It looks to me like each model / row of models was rendered in POV-Ray individually and then PhotoShopped together. Probably removed any reflections when combined on to one image. Scott (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Hi Larry, I'm not much of a POV expert, but it looks to me like Jeroen used a single light source (I only see one shadow per model). I'd guess the light source is very far away (to simulate sunlight) because all the shadows cast proportionate (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

A long time ago, Jeroen kindly rendered this image for me in POVRay (URL) the source got lost. Now I need it much much larger so I'm trying to recreate it. I am all the way there (all models positioned right, etc) except for the lighting/shadows. (...) (13 years ago, 2-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) You're welcome. I got the POV files, and responded (via email) that I needed the original LDraw file in order to debug LDView. It would seem that you didn't get my email reply. --Travis (14 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) That sounds like an LDView bug. If you send me your model, I will investigate. --Travis (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
