Camera.dat workflow

[Roland Melkert]

Unfortunately, LDView does not support camera.dat in any way. I don't know if there are other tools to generate POV camera statements based on camera.dat.

I've been working on POVRay export for LDCad 1.6 but it is more animation orientated.

Is camera.dat an offical part? I can't seem to find it though.

I've been (mis)using the below combined with scripts in my current tests:

Code:

0 FILE camera.ldr
1 0 0 25 -37 -1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 -1 30148.dat

This places the 'lens' at the part origin pointing into the local z-axis but you still need to set the zoom fov etc manually (through script also) same goes for lights if you want anything else besides point lights.
