Your step renderings seem a bit different though.  Were they processed
through LPub?

Nope.  They're straight ML-Cad output using a "Line Width" of 3 and an
"Added parts view type" of Highlight.  I save the pictures as 1600 x 1200
bitmaps and scale them down with an image editor.

getting the point across I guess.  If I could, wouldn't mind if they • looked more
like the style used in official sets, but I need to do more experimenting • to
get that look I think.

Mega-POV can do that, but I'm not sure if it works well with POV-Ray 3.5.
The Tips and Techniques section on the Lugnet Building Instructions page
<http://news.lugnet.com/inst/> has some more info on this.

I guess in my ideal final version of a model, I'd like both my glam shot
and my instructions to look more or less like your cover shots.  I was • really
impressed by those and have set that look as my goal.

Check your e-mail :-)
