First of all, thanks for the new version!  You've really worked hard to make
this a wonderful utility!

-sc  StepClock, add "#if (clock > n)" at steps

The -sc option is for those who want raytraced instruction images.

For anyone who plans on making raytraced instructions, may I suggest the
following:

1)  Uncomment the "orthographic" keyword in the camera {} block.
    This will get rid of the perspective in the images (equivalent
    of infinite focus)
2)  Use 3 shadowless light sources, one directly to the side of the
    model, one directly in front, and one directly above.  Adjust the
    brightnesses of the lights by changing the color:
      color rgb 0.5  // half-bright white light
      color rgb 2.0  // double-bright white light
    Adjust the brightness of the lights until you get good edge contrast.
3)  Remove reflections from all the colors.
4)  If desired, use MegaPOV to add edgelines

Anyone have any other suggestions?

As you can read in "The motive to L3P" it was Lutz Uhlmann's LGEO library (or rather its incompleteness) that inspired me to get started in the LDRAW business. It resulted in my L3 (Lego+Ldraw+Lars) project, which has spun off L3P and L3Lab. The (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray) !!
