I definitely recommend LDView for these sorts of things if POV-Ray isn’t doing it for you. The lighting is pretty direct, and you change your viewing angle just by dragging the model around in the window. You don’t have to deal with any numbers at all.

However, of course, POV-Ray will give you much better looking results in a “real-life” kind of way. (Here’s a plug) Tim Courtney has a book called “Virtual LEGO” that I was fortunate enough to pick up at Brickfest, and I’ve already gained a wealth of knowledge from it. It has a whole section (Chapter 16, I believe) dedicated to getting the best renders out of POV-Ray, and covers the specific issues related to LEGO elements and lighting.

I used to just use LDView, but I’m playing with POV-Ray more now thanks to it.

By the way, I like the design. It certainly has that “executive-class” feel to it. I bet the in-flight meal is good!


Play Well, Brian
