  Instructions for new fire truck - Ladder 110
 
I'm working my way through a series of 4-wide fire apparatus right now. And while this isn't the first one in the series, this is the one I'm most happy with up to this point. (URL) For a few reasons: the truck itself came out pretty much exactly as (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.inst, lugnet.town, FTX)

  Re: Transparent colors in POV-Ray
 
(...) I'm using 3.7 beta at the moment, because it renders considerably faster on my quad core. But the result is the same in 3.6. Thanks for that link, It makes the T parameter a bit more clear. I see now the trick is to use ONLY the T parameter (...) (15 years ago, 11-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  More on MegaPov
 
Hi all, A few days after my post about MegaPov 0.7 a new version was released, compatible with POV-Ray 3.5. So to a certain point that post was a bit pointless. I have downloaded MegaPov 1.0 (MP1.0) for both Macintosh and Windows but only tested it (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: How do I...? 3 questions about POV-Ray.
 
Daniel, You can do whatever you want if you dare to edit the POV file before rendering. POVRay isn't that difficult to fafthom, and there are lots of things you can do that creates a better render. Like this: (URL) for example (I think I can still (...) (17 years ago, 12-May-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Opinions sought on rendering method
 
I'm working on a different rendering method (for instructions) using POV-Ray, and I wanted to get some opinions about the output. On that note, I have two sample renderings in two different sizes, and I'd like to get people's feedback. Note that I'm (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) To me, the reasons are mainly "historical": the first way to get better images than the output of Ldraw/MLCad/LeoCAD (which is not that bad for instructions!) was POV-Ray. L3PAO then LPub did a lot to push POV as the renderer of choice. Add to (...) (17 years ago, 9-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
