 | | L3P user primitive substitution —Chuck Sommerville
|
| | | Awhile back, I persuaded Lars Hassing to add a feature to L3P. I wanted the ability to substutite POV language commands in the comments of a .DAT file that could be used in place of the DAT primitives when rendering through POV. This would allow (...)

I'd definitely recommend it for including scanned/bitmap images (like printed tiles), as the POV-Ray versions will be far superior to an BMP2DAT2POV-Ray conversion. For official (...)

It has a slightly steeper learning curve as compared to using L3P but I would still recommend it to anyone (...) (24 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
