SylvainLS Posted December 6, 2017 I don’t know how LDD2POVRay works but with regular POVRay, I delete the brick altogether and use a light_source instead with the brick in its “looks_like” parameter. Here’s an example with an LDView export where I replaced a 1x2 plate (3023) with a light source (an array light placed at mid-height). The last matrix and rotation are what places the light_source where the plate was, all the previous transformations are generic (the same for all 3023 plates). (Scale in cm.) light_source { <0, 0, 0>, srgb <173,237,237>/255 area_light 1.52*x, 0.72*z, 6, 3 adaptive 1 jitter looks_like { lg_3023_clear rotate <90, 0, 0> rotate <0, 90, 0> translate <0, -0.16, 0> material { texture { lg_glowing_light_blue } interior { lg_ior } } } fade_power 2 fade_distance 2 photons { reflection on refraction on } translate <0, 0.16, 0> matrix <1, 0, 0, 0, 0.707107, -0.707107, 0, 0.707107, 0.707107, -8.799998, -8.318311, -1.9\ 41052> rotate <-90, 0, 0> } Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's because you did not removed original texture from the brick so POV-Ray created layered texture (emmisive under plastic). Gloving edges are due to interior property you have added. In the original scene: #declare ldd_model1 = ldd_3005(array[2]{21,0}, declares that brick should be element Id 3005 and use material 21. To override how the material 21 is defined, do it before it is declared by converter. Converter declares it in ldd_default_materials.inc. You can override by adding: #include "ldd_materials_declarations.bin" #declare ldd_finishes[21] = finish { emission <1.0,0.1,0.0>*7 ambient 1 } Before line that includes ldd_default_materials.inc. This way you can define complete textures, not only modify finish. Complete example: #version 3.6; #declare ldd_level_of_detail = 3; #declare ldd_light_color = <255/255,255/255,255/255>; #declare ldd_color_variance = 2.00; #include "ldd_default_colors.inc" #include "ldd_materials_declarations.bin" #declare ldd_finishes[21] = finish { emission <1.0,0.1,0.0>*7 ambient 1 } #include "ldd_default_materials.inc" #include "ldd_part_materials.inc" #include "ldd_part_bevels.inc" #include "ldd_part_position_variances.inc" #include "ldd_main.bin" #declare ldd_camera_transformation = transform { matrix <0.70710676908493042,0,-0.70710676908493042,-0.40824830532073975,0.81649661064147949,-0.40824830532073975,0.5773501992225647,0.57735037803649902,0.5773501992225647,11.132489204406738,11.132489204406738,11.132489204406738>} #declare ldd_camera_location = ldd_vtransform(<0, 0, 0>, ldd_camera_transformation); #declare ldd_camera_distance = 19.282037734985352; #declare ldd_camera_look_at = ldd_vtransform(<0, 0, -ldd_camera_distance>, ldd_camera_transformation); #declare ldd_camera_angle = ldd_default_camera_angle; #declare ldd_model_transformation = transform { translate <0,0,0> } #include "ldd_3005.bin" #include "rad_def.inc" global_settings { assumed_gamma 1.4 max_trace_level 50 adc_bailout 0.01/2 radiosity { Rad_Settings(Radiosity_OutdoorHQ, on, on) } } //background { color rgbft <255/255, 255/255, 255/255, 1, 1> } light_source { <100,100,0> color 40/100*ldd_light_color area_light 5, 5, 10, 10 adaptive 1 jitter circular orient transform { ldd_camera_transformation } } /* light_source { <-100,100,0> color 40/100*ldd_light_color area_light 5, 5, 10, 10 adaptive 1 jitter circular orient transform { ldd_camera_transformation } } light_source { <0,100,0> color 40/100*ldd_light_color area_light 5, 5, 10, 10 adaptive 1 jitter circular orient transform { ldd_camera_transformation } } */ camera { right -(image_width/image_height)*x location ldd_camera_location look_at ldd_camera_look_at angle ldd_camera_angle } #declare ldd_model1 = ldd_3005(array[2]{21,0},array[1]{0},array[1][12]{{1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,-1.2000000476837158,0,-0.40000000596046448}}) #declare ldd_model2 = ldd_3005(array[2]{21,0},array[1]{0},array[1][12]{{1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,-1.2000000476837158,0.95999997854232788,-0.40000000596046448}}) #declare ldd_model3 = ldd_3005(array[2]{21,0},array[1]{0},array[1][12]{{1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,-0.40000003576278687,0,-0.40000000596046448}}) #declare ldd_model4 = ldd_3005(array[2]{21,0},array[1]{0},array[1][12]{{1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0.39999997615814209,0,-0.40000000596046448}}) #declare ldd_model5 = ldd_3005(array[2]{21,0},array[1]{0},array[1][12]{{1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,-1.2000000476837158,0,0.40000000596046448}}) #declare ldd_model6 = ldd_3005(array[2]{21,0},array[1]{0},array[1][12]{{1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,-0.40000003576278687,0,0.40000000596046448}}) #declare ldd_modelz = union { object{ldd_model1} hollow interior{ media{ emission <1.0,0.1,0.5>*7 } } } ldd_modelz ldd_statistics() plane { y, min_extent(ldd_modelz).y texture { pigment { color ldd_colors[1] } } } Or you can use the the "looks like" approach with lights like in this example: #version 3.6; #declare ldd_level_of_detail = 3; #declare ldd_white = <255/255,255/255,255/255>; #declare ldd_black = <0/255,0/255,0/255>; #declare ldd_stretch_palette = 1; #declare ldd_light_color = <255/255,255/255,255/255>; #declare ldd_ambient_light_color = 0/100*ldd_light_color; #include "ldd_lego_colors.inc" #include "ldd_main.bin" #declare ldd_camera_transformation = transform { matrix <0.76167279481887817,0,-0.64796173572540283,-0.30815255641937256,0.8796766996383667,-0.36223039031028748,0.56999683380126953,0.4755721390247345,0.67002588510513306,11.696864128112793,12.339683532714844,17.410989761352539>} #declare ldd_camera_location = ldd_vtransform(<0, 0, 0>, ldd_camera_transformation); #declare ldd_camera_look_at = ldd_vtransform(<0, 0, -22.957365036010742>, ldd_camera_transformation); #declare ldd_camera_angle = 25; #declare ldd_model_transformation = transform { translate <0,0,0> } #include "ldd_3814.bin" #include "ldd_3818.bin" #include "ldd_3819.bin" #include "ldd_3820.bin" #include "ldd_3626.bin" #include "ldd_3815.bin" #include "ldd_3816.bin" #include "ldd_3817.bin" #include "ldd_4599.bin" #include "ldd_6141.bin" #include "ldd_33320.bin" #include "rad_def.inc" global_settings { assumed_gamma 1.4 max_trace_level 50 adc_bailout 0.01/2 radiosity { Rad_Settings(Radiosity_Fast, on, on) } // fast radiosity -
