I suppose some of you may want to try this out, so do something like
this with your POV-Ray file, as generated by L3P. Identify the portion
of the file where the "0 STEP" lines are present and add #if and #end
statements like this:
// [DAT lines in step 1]
// 0 STEP
#if (clock > 1)
// [DAT lines in step 2]
// 0 STEP
#end
#if (clock > 2)
// [DAT lines in step 3]
// 0 STEP
#end
#if (clock > 3)
// [DAT lines in step 4]
// 0 STEP
#end
:
:
The instruction images can then be generated with POV-Ray's built in
animation capability
povray +I lego.pov +O lego.png +W400 +H300 -J +KFI1 +KFF17 +KI1 +KF17
to render 17 steps, say. The output images will be numbered lego01.png,
lego02.png, ..., lego17.png.
(These are UNIX style command line options. I really have no idea what
this looks like in the Windows world. Check the manual.)
