Sample two looks best to me.
As David Purdue remarked in a past post, he outlined his white parts with Mega-POV. However, Mega-POV doesn't work on all computers. Also, Mega-POV sometimes leaves the overall images too dark, in my opinion.
The Photoshop, outline glow of the pictures in Fay's upcoming "NXT ZOO" book are the clearest instructional images I've seen yet. I/we will post a sample later this month.

Instead of messing with Pov/Megapov, why don't you generate your images with nice enhancing edges with LDGlite (fastest) or LDView (best rendering) ???
Did you try the updated NXT parts?

I'm confused because the thumbnails are labeled sample 1 thru sample 5 and the links are labeled sample 2 thru sample 6. Also, I suspect what looks best on my screen won't necessarily produce the best image on a printed page.

My publisher was not happy with the quality of LDGlite.
Is there documentation for LDView?
I tried the new part and it is somewhat better---more like the first sample.

To be honest here, non of these images are good.

Honest is OK, Michael. It just demonstrates the dilemma authors experience with publishers. Two-color would be a great improvement. Four-color would be best. So far, none of us have had those options.

I took the time to doctor up an image of what I would like to see. Don't know if the URL will go through but see here:
There are two things of note:
- Removed all reflections. The reflections add to the confusion.
- Traced edges with black lines.
Another note about the books. I have purchased three titles and notice that the models are never rotated to focus on the build area of concern. The reader is left to guess as to what is going on. I think it's ok to rotate the model.

Depending on what version of LPub you're using, you can turn off reflection by checking the "Reflection" check box and entering 0. If you adjust the Ambient settings to a lower setting, it will darken the piece(s), making it distinguishable from the white background. Of course, you wouldn't want the pieces to look too dark. You can see an example of a no-reflection, lower-ambient lighting here:

Fay, the GSU, drawings means that unfortunately not all parts ar drawn yet. and creating Building Instructions is a lot of manual work. creating each picture by hand! (including the parts list)
NXTmonger and others, the 4 samples that Laurens posted are created different then the ones from Fay. Laurens used different rendering programs, and Fay only changed the POV renderings afterwards with Photoshop.

I'm not familiar with parts drawing so cannot comment on the capabilities of the technology. I can only comment as an end user (for now).
I just took a look at Laurens links and I like that much better. I like the Google Sketchup images and the LDView image a lot. The main positive point (in addition to absence of reflections) is that the edges are traced by a black line which helps distinguish the contours when smiler colored faces overlap. For example, white on white. That seems the way to go.
The only snag is when you are drawing black objects, the outline is black too so it doesn't help much. If the outline turned white (on black objects) that might help but I'd have to see a real example to judge if it really works.
In general, I think that photorealism is bad in black and white. You actually want an image that looks like it was drawn out.

I'm happy to report that all of the models in my book rotate to show the parts being added.The Beach Buggy directions (in the Idea Book) also rotated the model.
I don't like the reflection either, but haven't figured out how to eliminate it. (David, thanks for the LPub hint. I'll see if I have the option you mentioned. )
Michael, drawing lines in such a custom manner would be incredibly time-consuming and almost impossible to do well. My experiments with Photoshop are an attempt to help publishers and authors find an acceptable solution that is practical.
Remember, publishers also require very high resolution images---at least 300 dpi. Does anyone know the dpi of images produced by these various programs. POV-Ray/LPub is only acceptable if the image is kept very large. A distance setting of 1000-1500 usually does it.

- GeekyTom said...
use the layer effects to add a stroke outline and never underestimate the usefulness of a subtle drop shadow :-)
- Feb 6, 2008, 9:22:00 AM
- Eric D. Burdo said...
@GeekyTom - Is that something that can be done automatically, or would it require manual tweaking/brushing/drawing on each image?
- Feb 6, 2008, 10:37:00 AM
- Philo said...
Is there documentation for LDView?
Just choose LDview for renderer in LPub (instead of Pov or LDGlite). More details here.
Default LDview preferences may need to be tweaked, see here.
Also have a look at this thread.
- Feb 6, 2008, 6:05:00 PM
Fay, as a reader, I liked the pictures and instructions in David Purdue's Idea book the best.
If you can add the number of holes in the straight connector and length to the axles next to each of these components, that will be very useful.

with news NXT parts and philo's instructiones (24 colors) the result is very good. My Joistyck instructions with Lpub:

I've worked with David, trying to get my computer to surrender to his settings, but Mega-POV rendered my computer useless. If I'm not mistaken, he used LPub 3 beta, but that gave me fits as well. (My husband would blame this all on Bill Gates.)
The effect used in #4 was actually Torn Paper, with the original image overlayed and set to (I think) 80% transparency. (I don't have my notes at the moment.)

Alliance Defending Freedom Leadership Team
Alan Sears
President, CEO, and General Counsel
Alan Sears serves as president, CEO, and general counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom, an alliance-building legal ministry that advocates for religious freedom to uphold justice and preserve the right of people to freely live out their faith. He leads the strategy, training, funding, and litigation efforts of Alliance Defending Freedom that have resulted in various roles in 40 victories at the U.S. Supreme Court and wins in more than three out of four cases litigated to conclusion. Under his leadership, Alliance Defending Freedom has funded more than 2,600 grants and legal projects for allied lawyers and organizations, and Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys have successfully defended marriage as the union between one man and one woman in over 40 cases nationwide.Read more…
Since the launch of Alliance Defending Freedom in 1994, Sears has provided strategic leadership in the training of over 1,700 lawyers through the one-of-a-kind Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Academy, which is designed to equip attorneys to more effectively defend religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and marriage and the family. These attorneys have reported more than $165 million in pro-bono/dedicated time. Sears' visionary efforts have also resulted in the graduation of more than 1,350 outstanding law students— representing more than 140 law schools—from the unique Blackstone Legal Fellowship program. This in-depth summer internship program helps equip these students to assume leadership positions to shape the future of American law. Today, Alliance Defending Freedom has more than 2,300 allied attorneys.
Sears earned his Juris Doctor from Louis D. Brandeis School of Law. While serving in numerous positions within the government, he worked for the Department of Justice under Attorneys General William French Smith and Edwin Meese III, including service as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and Chief of the Criminal Section. Sears was also appointed as the director of the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography and served as associate solicitor with the Department of the Interior under Secretary Donald Hodel. A graduate of the University of Kentucky, Sears has continued his education with professional instruction at Stanford University, Harvard Law School, Harvard Business School, and Pepperdine University.
Practicing law for three decades, Sears is a member in good standing with the American, Arizona, California, District of Columbia (inactive), and Kentucky bar associations. He has helped fashion the language for numerous state and federal laws and has testified before committees of the U.S. House and Senate, state legislatures, and many local governments and commissions. Legislators in 20 states have adopted his legislative recommendations. Sears has assisted legislators and law enforcement officials from many countries and has spoken before committees of the British Parliament.
Sears' numerous media appearances include television interviews and features on The Today Show, Nightline, CNN, Fox News, C-SPAN, The O'Reilly Factor, Oprah, and The Lou Dobbs Show. He has also been a radio guest on various programs, including The Laura Ingraham Show, National Public Radio, The Hugh Hewitt Show and The Dennis Prager Radio Show. Sears has been extensively covered in national print media, including the Washington Post, the Associated Press, the Washington Times, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Arizona Republic, and the National Catholic Register. He is a regular opinion contributor to Townhall.com and has co-authored several books, including The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today (2003) and The ACLU vs. America (2005), both with Craig Osten. His most recent books are In Justice (2009) and Trial and Error (2011).
Alliance Defending Freedom is blessed with 12 outstanding men and women who serve on the board of directors on a completely unpaid, volunteer basis.
These board members of exceptional capacity and experience have diverse backgrounds – ranging from high military command to national ministry leadership and from media and journalism to business and entrepreneurial ventures – but are united in their commitment to protect religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family.
These faithful servants are helping to keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel and have made themselves available to accomplish much at this time! (Esther 4:14).

Alliance Defending Freedom was founded by the sacrificial, generous efforts of more than 30 evangelical Christian leaders, including several from America's most respected ministries. The Founders believed that America was in desperate need of a unique Christ-centered legal ministry dedicated to dramatically elevating legal efforts to protect religious liberty from attacks by the opposition.
These five exceptional men took the leading role in forming Alliance Defending Freedom, and set the high standard of excellence and good stewardship that the ministry continues to abide by today.

Am I the only one.....
I have been a KoЯn fan almost all my life and I love the band to death, but am I the only one hoping that the tenth album isn't going to be all Dub step? After hearing "Get Up" I am sad to say that this is going to be the ONLY album I will have to delete at least one song from my computer and depending on how the rest of the album is maybe not even purchase altogether. KoЯn III was like a dream come true for me going back to their roots with that raw KoЯn sound I fell in love with and having Ross come in again and produce it great. I guess I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that feels disappointed in the band with this song. In my opinion this dub step seems like an infection contaminated good music, because the lyrics sound great, but the so called music in that song is painful to my ears. Anyone else with me on this one?

Re: Am I the only one.....
If any band can make something out of such a terrible genre, KoRn ought to be the one.
Have faith.
Stå upp, se hit, var hård, ta stryk.
Re: Am I the only one.....
deal with it!
Re: Am I the only one.....
I really didn't care for the dub step I'm just glad the lyrics of Get Up were amazing so yea no matter what KoRn does I'll love it just saying ^-^
Re: Am I the only one.....
Actually, I LOVED Get Up. It's not like most of the crappy dubstep you hear. It had very strong metal influences, and a great melody + better lyrics (which satisfied the void that KIII left). I don't want the entire to album to be all dubsteppy, but I wouldn't mind if a lot of the songs were similar in style to Get Up.
~C'est la vie
Re: Am I the only one.....
I have a lot of friends who are into Dubstep but not into Korn (although a lot of them listened to them when they were super popular and on MTV all the time around the Follow the Leader/Issues era; weren't real fans, just liked what was super popular at the time) Often when I tell people about Korn doing a dubstep thing, they immediately compare Korn to Britney Spears, because apparently she made a dubsep album. So it is a little weird that Korn is making an ablum that is the same genre that a Britney Spears album is.
Anyway Korn is a band that release albums all the time. So if one album is not an interest, its not like its gonna be forever. I mean they realeased an album last year. Their not like bands like Jane's Addiction, who just released their 4th studio album, and their 1st came out in fucking 1988! For Korn, three years is the longest time period between any album (issues-untouchables and Untitled-Korn III). So its not like it will be more than a year or two until they release more albums. SO if you don't like the dub-step stuff, then it's not like a Metallica reacord, having to wait 5 or 6 more years.

Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - E.J. Manuel threw for a career-high 439 yards and four touchdowns as No. 12 Florida State dominated Boston College in a 51-7 trouncing in Atlantic Coast Conference action from Doak Campbell Stadium.
Manuel completed 27-of-34 passes and was intercepted twice in turning in the first 400-yard passing effort by a Seminoles quarterback since Chris Weinke had 521 against Clemson on Nov. 4, 2000.
Florida State (6-1, 3-1 ACC) racked up 649 total yards in avenging a 17-16 loss at North Carolina State last week, in which the Seminoles squandered a 16-0 halftime lead. Kenny Shaw amassed 125 receiving yards with a touchdown on just two catches, while Rodney Smith came up with a personal-best nine catches totaling 108 yards and Lonnie Pryor and James Wilder each finished with a pair of touchdowns.
"I thought our kids did a great job all week of putting that last game behind them and not letting it drag on - moving on," said Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher. "It shows a lot about our maturity and leadership of our football team. I thought they prepared and played very well from the get-go."
Andre Williams had 104 rushing yards on 20 carries for Boston College (1-5, 0-3), now mired in a four-game losing streak, with Bobby Swigert recording five catches for 61 yards and accounting for the Eagles' lone touchdown.
Quarterback Chase Rettig struggled all game long against a Florida State defense ranked fourth nationally in yards allowed, making good on just 15- of-31 throws for 122 yards with one touchdown and an interception.
"They've got a very nice, championship caliber football team," Boston College head coach Frank Spaziani said of Florida State. "They certainly showed it in a lot of ways. I thought our guys competed the whole game. They strained, they worked hard. We just were up against it a little bit."
After sputtering down the stretch of last week's startling defeat, the Seminoles were clicking offensively right from the start of this one. Florida State scored touchdowns on four of its first five possessions to build a commanding 28-0 lead, and the rout was on from there.
Manuel began the barrage by hitting Shaw in stride for a 77-yard touchdown less than six minutes in, then connected with Jarred Haggins for 42 yards to the Boston College 16 after the Seminoles got the ball back following a quick three-and-out. That led to Pryor's 2-yard burst across the goal line for a 14-0 advantage with 4:53 remaining in the opening period.
"I think (the Seminoles') psyche was, they got annoyed that they got a little conservative last week and they weren't about to do that," said Spaziani. "They were going to attack and they were in an attack mode right from the beginning."
The big passing plays kept coming in the second quarter, with Manuel firing a deep strike to Kelvin Benjamin for a 46-yard gain to highlight a 7-play, 84- yard sequence capped by the standout quarterback's 7-yard scoring delivery to Wilder. Less than three minutes later, a 48-yard hookup with Shaw led to Manuel's 6-yard pass to Benjamin that increased the margin to 28 points.
Boston College answered with its only sustained drive of the game, save for a 10-play series to open the contest that concluded with a fourth-down Rettig incompletion at the FSU 1-yard line. The Eagles moved 87 yards in 12 plays, highlighted by Rettig's 22-yard completion to Alex Amidon on 3rd-and-16, and got on the board when the BC triggerman hit Swigert from 18 yards out with 2:04 left in the first half.
That was still enough time for the Seminoles to strike again, however, as two Manuel-to-Smith passes set the stage for Dustin Hopkins' 51-yard field goal that sent FSU into the break with a 31-7 lead.
The kick made Hopkins the all-time leading scorer in both ACC and Florida State history.
Boston College continued to be shut down in the second half as the Seminoles further pulled away.
Manuel went 4-for-4 for 51 yards on an 8-play, 75-yard possession that ended when Pryor broke the plane from three yards away, and Hopkins made good on field goals from 26 and 38 yards out around a 10-play drive that contained Manuel's fourth touchdown pass of the game -- a 12-yarder to Wilder less than two minutes into the fourth quarter.
Hopkins now has 402 career points to surpass the ACC record of 393 set by
Maryland's Nick Novak from 2001-04, and also eclipsed the FSU mark of 393
previously held by Derrick Schmidt (1984-87) ... Manuel tied a career high for
touchdown passes set twice previously ... Florida State assistant Clint
Swearingen was carried off the field after being involved in a sideline
collision with players in the third quarter ... The Seminoles rushed for 201
yards and improved to 20-1 in Fisher's six-year tenure as either head coach
or offensive coordinator when reaching the 200-yard mark in that
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.

Just made my second purchase of a Covert Hoody. First one was black and just wanted a different color. The material and workmanship is top-notch and little details like the pocket zip stiffeners that actually hold their shape after repeated washing. The fabric pills very minimally. It is not a great wind blocker, but it was not designed to be. This is a great mid layer for an Arc'Terex GoreTex shell making for a not-too-bulky and reconfigure-able ensemble. Highly recommend it.
This hoodie is soft, durable, and very, very, very warm. Very warm. The pockets are a bit weird...the sleeve pocket is too small an the regular pockets are very big...no inside hidden pockets, either. The hood is very nice and pretty much shapes to the curve of your forehead- no chance of it blowing up in the wind. The jacket itself isn't exactly wind resistant, but traps body heat very nicely to keep you toasty and warm. Did I mention it i warm? Boyfriend is 5'7 and about 170 and a large is a perfect fit.
Pros: Very warm, light, at 6'5" 215lbs. with long arms the XL is necessary for me, a bit baggy in the core area. The green color is nice as I don't often find myself in areas during hunting season. A light shell if you expect windy areas or biking at 40 F. You may have worked up enough heat/sweat to like the breeze and the wicking capability...I do as a sweaty bastard. Cons: It's spendy, but was on sale to numb the sting. Unsure of the advantage of waterproof zippers as water will get to you and your stuff through the fabric but untested in the rain yet. Also what;s the purpose of the sleeve pocket, It may be more weatherproof, although rather small, can't even hold my phone.
I was pretty hesitant to drop $200 on a fleece. I'm glad I did! Also, now that I own it, I can see why the price tag is so high. the craftsmanship and quality is exceptional. the fleece is finely knit and woven. the fleece is extremely warm. AND it is by far the softest and most comfortable fleece I have ever owned. if it werent $200 I would buy a few more in a heartbeat. but it is... so I will have to stick with the one I have. Until I wear it out. which, as I said, the craftsmanship is amazing. so I dont really see it wearing out anytime soon. my fall hoodie/jacket of choice. did I mention its also stylish? it is...
I am on quite intimate terms with this jacket. Whether she's cuddling me on some distant hill or comforting me with the flu, she embraces me with a soft, gentle warmness. When I put her on, I truly feel that she cares. The covert is special no matter which style you choose. The hoody just happened to be my cup of tea. Now, If you'll excuse me, I'll get back to spending time with my jacket.
Stylish and warm. So far no complaints, have worn one very similar to this one for a long time and will continue to support Arcteryx. Expensive of course, but for the price you pay you get the comfort of mind knowing that the investment will be long term. Hood is a great asset that makes this above and beyond what similar brands offer. Save for this!
