PovRay Rendering of chrome parts - Sven v. Beuningen - 2015-10-30 Hi, does someone have tried to render a part with one of the chrome colors (60, 61, 62, 63)? If I try this I get pure white bricks. I exported the brick with ldview to povray and it seems that something is wrong with the LDXChromeRefl parameter. I changed it from 0.85 to 0.6 and my brick is at least visible. Con someone confirm this? Best Regards Sven Re: PovRay Rendering of chrome parts - Damien Roux - 2015-10-30 Do you have something to reflect in your scene? Othetwise it will reflect nothing, so that's maybe why you have a blank part. Re: PovRay Rendering of chrome parts - Sven v. Beuningen - 2015-10-30 Hi Damien, hmm good point. I just tried to render a single brick. Which might be some kind of special situation. Re: PovRay Rendering of chrome parts - Niklas Buchmann - 2015-10-31 I tweaked the lg_colors.inc to make chrome parts look like this (chrome air horns on the roof of the trucks) and I'm quite happy with the result: LEGO MAN TGM/ Metz L32 Ladder - Drehleiter by Niklas-B, auf Flickr LEGO MAN TGM Heavy Rescue Truck - Rüstwagen by Niklas-B, auf Flickr If you're interested, I can give you the file or the values I used.
