Yep. Easy.
In the POV file find your models 'object' line. In an unmodified L3P generated
file, it will be near the bottom of the file, directly above the line that
says //background:
It will look something like this:
object { my_model_name #if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end {
Color7 } }
Modify it to look like this:
object { my_model_name #if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end {
Color7 }
scale .5
}
Notice that the scale command fits right between the last two curly brackets.
The value of .5 would make it one-half original size.
Additionaly, if you want to rotate or move the object you can add these two
commands.
object { my_model_name #if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end {
Color7 }
scale .05
rotate < 0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
translate < 0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
}
Note that scale should always be first, followed by rotate, then translate.
The < 0.0, 0.0, 0.0> is the X,Y,Z spatial coordinate system
All zeros just leaves it at its default 'origin' position.

| Is it possible in POV-Ray to change the scale of an object, i.e. to shrink it? Here's what I want to do. I have a micro-fig scale space cruiser and I want to have flying next to it a minifig scale fighters. Since in real-life these two models are (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
