| | | Does anyone here have an in-depth knowledge of the Povray source? There is a need to eliminate the time taken by parsing so real-time rendering systems like the Dat Explorer can work on large pov files. One Idea floating around is to save whatever (...)

| | | | (...) I don't know anything about saving the data structure to disk. However, I think that the reason for the parser to take som much time and memory on L3P'd scenes is that the format L3P generates is not best suited for POV-Ray. I think there (...)

| | | | | (...) I didn't get any answer from Kevin, so I made my own DAT explorer program. It was about time I learned to do some Perl CGI stuff anyway. The interface is slightly different from Kevin's, but I've borrowed many ideas. I've credited him on the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.ray)

It's a pity it's slow... Just one suggestion/idea: How about (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

While Kevin Loch's interface lets you move in specified directions, my interface is more in the "Doom" tradition, (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

I agree walking through or around a model is a pretty cool idea, but I get frustrated by how slowly I walk :) I think a few set views would be great to get an overall image of the model. Then if I wanted to see details or interiors, I could (...) (25 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

I'd like to try my "walk through" on a larger scene, which could actually be walked through, but the computer running the program doesn't have enough RAM to render a large model. (...)

| | | | I haven't released the source yet because it's not ready for prime time. I will release the source under GPL when I feel it's ready. (part of my hesitation has to do with CGI security concerns). Actually, if someone who knows C and has a real fast (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.general)

I don't have any computer hooked up to the net which is powerful enough to do this on a large scale, so I can't take over the project. (...)
