i need a hand
Ok guys need some help here.
Who of you uses MLCad to build and Pov-Ray to render models?
I have one i would really like to get rendered, but for now, i wouldn`t like to bother with the details of doing so. Would someone please render me this model? It is small, but it uses a lot of transparancy.
Picture will be used for a custom Stat-Card so everybody will be benefit from it anyway
Thx in advance

MLCAd is a proggi that lets u build lego models out of a database of bricks and pieces both officially and unofficially. So you can build models virtually the same way you would in real life. It uses a 3D-Technologie for that, but the actual render of stuff is bad. There are some scripts that are converting the MLCad data into Poser-compatible data, and u can even choose to use a special collection of High-Res-Bricks but as i said it sounds to complicated for me at this time in space to achieve a good result.
here are some links:

And a guy who uses it to create SimCity Buildings in Lego

Hey I found a LDraw .dat to .lwo converter. I'm shocked! Its a bit old so I don't know if the .dat format has changed at all since 2002.

Grab that, you need to read some instructions and hand edit an INI file to set some paths. The converter needs access to the part files.
Just do a simple 2x2 brick as a sample. Then post the .lwo file.

Hello Flashhawk, I use MLCad, but I don't render using POVray, I use my own "special flat" rendering method. Have a look at my Brickshelf folder for many examples. I would be happy to render your model using my method if you want.
