Hi everyone,

Very quick question. Is there a way to make an object render with no shadows
or highlights? Sort of a pseudo-2D output.

I got the right output with a test model by setting transparancy to 1, but
this won't work on the actual model since there are overlaps. Of course,
diffuse=0 gives a jet black object.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

David

Well, that's exactly what no_shadow is for!
See your usual help file :-)

Hi,

finish{ambient 1} will work.

O, and have a look at the orthographic camera if you want 2D pictures.

Sounds perfect :) But I can't seem to get it to work.

I'm actually just using POV for rendering a mesh that has been exported to a
.inc file. I have a .pov file that includes:

---
// Object2
#declare Object2Material = material {
texture {
  pigment { color rgbf <0, 0.5, 0, 0> }
  finish  { ambient 1 diffuse 1 }
  }
}
#declare Object2 = object {
   #include "helix_curve2.inc"
}
object { Object2 material { Object2Material }}
---

As a n00b I see three places to put no_shadow, according to the help file.
After finish{}, after #include..... and after object { Object2...

I've tried all three and it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

David

This should give you what you want:

#include "colors.inc"

global_settings {
    radiosity {}
}

camera {
    location <0, 0, -10>
    look_at 0
}

sphere {
    0, 2
    pigment { Red }
    finish {
        ambient 1
        diffuse 0
    }
    translate <-3, 2, 0>
}

box {
    0, 2
    pigment { Blue }
    finish {
        ambient 1
        diffuse 0
    }
    translate <4, 1, 0>
}

plane  {
    z, 5
    pigment { White }
    finish {
        ambient 1
        diffuse 0
    }
}
