My younger brother found a new hobby - LeoCad. It's a freeware program for creating virtual LEGO blocks buildings and stuff. Program is old and no longer supported but it can export constructions as .obj and .3ds. The problem is, when the model is imported to P4 (both as an .obj and .3ds) it gets all puffy and most of flat surfaces and edges gets rounded. The same problem shows up in DazStudio (on much less scale though and only with .obj since you can't import .3ds to DS). POV-Ray looked like a good alternative, but it's now too new and somehow doesn't support LeoCad's libraries anymore (ever seen 3 milions of parsing errors ?). The question is, is there anything FREE we can use for rendering such models ? We both know nothing about modelling so please do not send us to some 3D modelling tutorials :(
