I never did any big work with it (or polished renders), but it is basically
usable. But it requires manual intervention -- you create the LDraw file, then
L3P generates the POV file, then you have to edit the POV file to add references
to the translation library and substitute the translation-layer parts for the
L3P parts.

Right now, it's only on my hard drive. I can send you a copy.
Also, the list was created to go with version 434 of Anton's library. Seeing as
how he's now up to version 509, I'm not sure how much it will really work any
more. Not that a new version can't be created, just that I haven't done it.

| (...) That should be version 508, I think. Maybe 508b? I've seen all three numbers in different places. But the most high-profile information states version 508. Steve (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad)
