One thing that’s been plaguing me re: clone renderings is the lack of LDraw-rendered MEGABLOKS faces. For a while I’d resigned myself to using blank yellow heads on the MB figures, and more recently I’d begun including inlined POV-Ray code that would render nicely, even though the LDraw-formatted heads were still blank.

Happily, these past few days I think I’ve hit on the right (or at least an acceptably workable) method. Here are the results. These are representations of actual MB heads, and they display in both LDraw and POV-Ray.

Feedback is welcome, but bear in mind that some of these are still in the revision stage. The good news is that I’ll have about a dozen or so different faces for use in renderings before long. Next up, headgear!

Also, I’ve rewritten the clone minifig hips and legs to reflect the latest (and best-to-date) form. You can see these in the second image.

Thanks for looking.

Dave!
