The geometries look very good, burt the materials could be improved.  

I'm looking forward to some old electron tubes... ;-)

Well, funny you ask about tubes, but somebody else brought that up too.
Here is a "from memory" rendition, but it isn't anywhere near ready.  Still, it
can be done fairly easily.

Cheers!

I will be putting wiring in soon.  But of course, then I should use animated
GIFs so we can flash the LEDs, watch the batteries run down...

Thanks- I downloaded your electrolytic capacitors file to have a look at it.
I have modeled some already, but not yet finished up the labeling.  Hey, I like
your protoboards!

Cheers!

Did you know that Jonas Olsen in 1998 made a program for making
Povray scene and include files from gerber and aperture files?
Also with a lib, but not so nice as yours.

I am testing it at this moment

Great !!!

I have contacted Jonas Olsen. He has stopped his project years ago
but wil restart it if there is interrest. My plans are to make
a good study of the gerber format. Starting with the cam tool of the
(for small boards) free Eagle schematic/pcb design tools to generate
the gerber files. Next standarisation of the components ( starting also
according to the Eagle libs ) and last a merge of the tools from
Jonas Olsen (gbr2pov and erend) to convert the gerber information to
pov.

Who is interrested?

1) People who supply contributions for de electronic component lib

2) People who work on de convertion of the gerber format to pov

Greetings...

Ooeps....

I was trying to invent the weel again.

Afther downloading (1 min), reading the readme.txt (5 min),
installing (1 min) and testing (1 min) the results (with
the example of Eagle) where perfect.

URL's:
http://www.matwei.de		//Hier gibts aktuelle Versionen des ULP
http://www.cadsoft.de		//Hersteller von Eagle

The only disadvantage is that it works ONLY with Eagle and not with
other gerber files.

Matthias Weisser (author of this software) asked to donate components
for his libs.
