AC3D and PovRay
Hi, just downloaded AC3D for evaluation and am seriously considering a purchase, I really like its interface.
My intention is to ray trace using POV ray (mainly a hobby thing). As I've tested some I have a few questions: * Is there a way to disable the generating non-object related info in the .pov file. It is a bit tedious to have to manually remove the camera, rotation, scaling etc every time I generate the file. Ie I only want the object specific data (coords and texture). * The raytraced image's texture is mirrored. Ie an object's texture with text that looks good & correct in the AC3D views, is actually "backwards" in the raytraced image. Is it a bug or a feature, or just me not doing it right :?

Re: AC3D and PovRay
If you let me know which bit you'd like optional in the povray output, I can add the ability to have this switched. - send me a sample of the text you'd like removed.
The other problme looks like a bug. Please email me a sample AC3D file + texture so I can see this in action. Andy |

Re: AC3D and PovRay
When you delete the camera section from the pov file, you are removing the:
Code:
right < -1.330000, 0.000000, 0.000000> I can provide the source for the POV exporter to be used as a plugin if you wish to make modifications. Andy |
