light.dat update


light.dat update
#1
Hi,

light.dat is a special file inside our \PARTS folder for placing a light source.
In later steps, for example rendering, these can be replaced by light sources.

Historically, that file was POV-Ray specific.
I removed that because light sources can be used anywhere, e.g. in Blender etc.

While being at it, I replaced the previous implementation (6 edges mimicing light rays)
by 2 spheres and more light rays:

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg.../light.dat

If you do not like that change, we can abandon it.
However, I wanted to drop it onto the PT to let you see it and get your comments on how useful that would be.

best
Steffen
