[HelpDesk] Help with LDraw

[Jedi]

LDview is a 3rd party LDraw viewer.  It is designed more to display in real-time your models.  If you want to create 3D images of your models then may I suggest using POV-Ray.  You will need to use L3P/L3PAO to convert your model (.ldr) files to .pov (pov-ray) so you can then render them.  In POV-Ray you can add backgrounds (BMP, JPG, etc...) so that when you render they will appear.  Refer to the POV_ray documentation for this.  
   
  Another good place to ask how this is done and see what others have done is to go to

  Hello. My name is Vincent Freeman. I have been using the LDraw website and 
its programs for over 3 years now and I must say it is the funnest thing 
I've come across on the internet. I love legos, and I love making them on 
MLCad. So here's my question: I was wondering about a few programs that I 
have. I have LView and I was wondering if I can add bitmap pictures to the 
background. I have microsoft paint and I was wanting to make pictures on 
there and add the built sets from MLCad to them. I plan on making movies out 
of the things I build. I am in a band and I want to make 3D movies of the 
lego world for my music videos. But I need to add a background to the things 
I build. So I wanted to know that. Thank you for your time.


Vincent


P.S. Thanks a million for this awesome program!
