Camera.dat workflow

[Michael Horvath]

I have added several "camera.dat" files to my scene to mark the locations where I want to place a camera in POV-Ray. What do I do after that? How do I get the camera positions after I have made the conversion to POV-Ray? Does LDView support these parts in the conversion process? Do I need to inline the entire MPD model first? I know I've done this in the past, but I don't remember how. And I no longer have those files in my backups.

Thanks!

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.

Does your program still support "light.dat"? I tested it and all I see is this code:

Code:

#declare LDX_light_dot_dat =
#if (LDXQual = 0)
box {
<-4,-4,-4>,<4,4,4>
}
#else
union {
// Pov-RAY Light Source
// Name: light.dat

}
#end

The code block appears empty except for comments, so I think it is not working.
