Inspired by the other post, I thought I'd try my hand at LDRAW. I was more
impressed with the number of pieces than with the interface, but it's still
a very well-done program. Just had to get my bi-monthly POV fix.

Good one. I still prefer the old technic pieces over the newer ones.
How was the memory consumption on this? I've only got 256 megs of RAM. I
hope it is enough to produce models of the same (or higher) complexity
shown in your render.

You *know* you've been raytracing far too long when you look at a heap
of dirt and go "wow, that looks really realistic..."

Yeah, they definitely sold out and got away from complex models made of
simple pieces. I guess I picked a good time to reach adolescence.
As for the RAM usage, I don't have the statistics on hand, but I can tell
you it'd be the radiosity that gets you on this one, not the LEGO's. I was
very pleased with the POV support. Most POV export commands spit out a huge
mesh that renders quickly but is impossible to edit. This one builds all
the pieces individually then assembles the model from copies. Very easy to
edit. As far I as I know that translates into relatively efficient RAM
usage too, but I could be way off. If nothing else, the POV file is 660 kB
so you're not looking at a giant mesh.

Wide images with a lot of space like this beg for a caption.... "Got dirt?
Get Techics" (Ok maybe something else....)
That is a very nice pile of dirt too btw!

Hahaha.... Nice!! Very realistic!
Indeed the pile of dirt is also very real...
If you really wanna get into rendering Lego, there's a specific newsgroup
where you can exchange ideas with other enthousiasts:
