Trevor,
I've identified what I believe is a bug when using POV-Ray for rendering images in LPub3D. When the directory path to the LDraw file does not contain any spaces, POV-Ray is invoked successfully and the appropriate images rendered. An example of the command line generated by LPub3D to invoke POV-Ray (from the POV-Ray log) is:
However, when the directory path contains a space, POV-Ray generates an error (from the POV-Ray log);
Note the difference between the respective +O command line argument quoting. The first (without spaces)
compared to the second )with spaces);
I believe the issues may be the double quotes around the entire +O parameter values, causing POV-Ray not to see the +O as intended.
Regards,
David
