I had a look at LPub4 this morning, and noticed that it doesn't use POV-Ray anymore. That's too bad, but I guess I can always revert back to that older version of LPub I was using before if I want to do any POV rendering.
I also had a closer look at Lic, and it supports ambient light adjustment which helps with making the details of black parts more visible. I can also change the color of black parts to "Metallic Black" which improves things even more.
That leaves the problem of flex parts, and I sent an e-mail to the author of Lic about it. The web site hasn't been updated since 2010, so it's definitely a long shot, but luck favors the bold, as they say. :-)
For now I'll keep studying LPub 4. Thanks for the tip, Travis!
