[Question] Any renderers available?

[somelegothings_]

Hello any renderers, I know I could probably do this myself but even after reading countless tutorials and trying to download the right software I just can't do it. I have an Ideas project that I'd really like rendered because the transparent pieces look awful with LDD's screenshots

example:

Sorry if it's any trouble but it'd really be a big help if someone could render my project. If you are interested, that's awesome and I'll send you the lxf!

have a look at LDD to POV ray, you will need the POV ray software and then the LDDtoPOV ray is your link between the two.

Alright! Thanks! I'll make sure to try that out.

EDIT: POV Ray seems to only run on Windows, that probably explains why I've been having trouble. And might be the reason I asked for help

There is an unofficial mac port: http://megapov.ineta...unofficial_mac/

If you don't enjoy and feel comfortable researching, installing and tweaking other files with less support than the Windows version, you might want to pass on trying to get it to work on a Mac. But it can be done and once it is set up it is fairly smooth.

Not true, Pov-ray runs fine on a Mac (I am assuming you have one), the problem is getting a LXF to render with Pov-ray on a Mac. As far as I know there isn't really a way to do so. The solution would be to not use LDD but Ldraw, but if you are looking for specific minifigs that could be problematic because the one area that Ldraw falls short is the amount of minifig decorations.

So you're initial solution of asking help on these forums is the best one.

Cheers
