POV-Ray export questions

[Michael Horvath]

Hi all,

I've almost finished the POVRay export feature for LDCad 1.6 but I'm having problems with the default material definitions.

Below is a zipped export of the 5571 model which renders nice using normal lighting, but acts very weird when using radiosity. It's caused by the chrome material but I have no clue on the why.

Anyone has some pointers or alternative chrome material definitions  (or any of the other material kinds rubber/metal/mattemetal/plainplastic/pearl)

normal render:


radiosity:

Any help / pointers are welcome

Is "max_trace_level" set too low maybe? Radiosity is very finicky. You may have better luck posting to the POV-Ray newsgroup.
