Here's some interesrting reading that dosen't answer the question but is very related (just trying to keep a path for historical sake). The thread wanders, but from here down is about CLUTs and MLCad custom (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

Mike, Can I offer embedded perl as a counter offer to Tcl? Perl is a very powerful language for manipulating text files. Kevin (...) [snip] (...)

  Re: Sand Green and POV
 
Mike, In the first image, there are no shadows. What you see are reflections. The reflection of the smoke stack on the top of the engine compartment looks like a shadow because the smoke stack is darker than the abient light you see other places. (...)

  LPub support for external POV post processors (was Sand Green)
 
Mike, I like the external POV post processor idea a lot, although I'll try not to use it as a catch all for denying LPub enhancements ;-) It would be a command line mechanism with command line arguments. I can see these things being possibly useful (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Sand Green and POV
 
Mike, LPub has always used shadowless lights for building instructions. 2.0.1.5 also has the ability to override ambient, diffuse and specular reflections default values created by L3P. I now turn reflections off, set ambient to 0.7 and diffuse to (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst, lugnet.cad.ray)
