Hi,

Does anybody know where to get the good old blocks.inc? Apperently it's 
doesn't exist anymore (as google fails to give a working link).

Or does anybody know of another inc file that does ca the same thing?

Regards,

/thomas

What does blocks.inc do?  Is it a lego include?

You want Lego? I know there are some great Lego bits & pieces for POV, but I
built a simple 4x2 block before I discovered these guys. Check out
http://www.kawo1.rwth-aachen.de/~witte/lego-closed.html and
http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~fine/POV/lego_4x2.html

Here's a shot of my Legos.

And here's a close-up. The blocks are hollow, and the logo & 'pegs' can be
easily turned off when desired.

That's odd. Both those Jpegs look worse after downloading than the originals
I just created (from .bmp).

There should be almost no visible artifacting on the second image, and only
a tiny bit on the red bricks in the first.

I hadn't noticed that happening here before. I'm using the web interface, by
the way. I wonder how it could happen???

I'm not seeing the artifacts you're talking about.  Have you tried
right-clicking them and doing a save-as?  Maybe something's weird about
your browser. Also, I think this area's for text only.

PS, since you mentioned the web interface, do you ever have trouble logging
on?

Also have a look in ~scenesadvancedblocks    There's a stacks.inc in there.

Phew! That's fine then.

Yes, but only after looking at them in the more usual way, so I suppose the
same file was pulled from the cache.

I believe you're quite correct, Charles. Sorry guys, but the Web interface
misled me, because it says "If posting images, please use JPEG or PNG
format" etc, down the bottom of this page. I just assumed I was in p.b.i
and didn't notice what group it was until I went to check my uploads.

Only in my early days here. But I have noticed that if I open a new browser
window to search something on this site while I'm composing a message, the
system gets confused and asks me to login again. It happened a couple of
times today, before I UL'ed those pics.
