I have a li'l exp. with MLCAD -> LDAO -> L3P -> POV-Ray--my rendering of hte
grabber mechanism on my 'bot page is an example. While not fluent with all
aspects of these apps, I think I can help with the basics if you need some help.
By the by, if you put the rendering to the max, ie-with bumps and such, and
a picture size of 1024x768, POV-Ray takes about 3-4 hours to render my truck
on a P3-450.
But the picture looks great!
So there you are.
Stay safe.
