Changes have been made to the material.lib, in order to support POV-Ray 3.7,
a new version of Persistence of Vision, which supports multiple CPU's inside
a single computer, increasing render speeds!

In order to change your files to make them 3.7 compatible, you need to take
the following steps:

1. Add a #version 3.7; statement to your .pov-file, preferably somewhere at
   the top of that file.
2. Remove all "interpolate 4" statements from your material_map textures.
3. Modify your .ini-file
4. Take a look at the downloadable sample files that you can find at our
   website :-)

Changes to the Material library:

A new variable has been added to the Material library, called maquette. Set this
to 1 and use a setting similar to the included maquette.pov file and you will
have something similar to the Global Illumination scenes that you may have seen
all over the Internet. Your models will then only have a beige texture which is
perfect for watching your model in a contrast rich environment. No distraction
from colors!

New textures have been added to the Material library in the POV-Ray 3.1 part as
well now:

  bnsf_green_tex

Pieces changed in Library version 509:

  train_wheels_old_large

Fixed the axle_ending when using age = 2

A lot of changes have been made to Library version 508 when it comes to the
actual rendering! I have made extensive changes to the Material library so that
you can now use newer versions of POV-Ray (3.5 and 3.6.x) and the recently
released MegaPOV 1.1!

And all of this while retaining the same overal image quality when using
Radiosity, perhaps even better! The only drawback is that rendering times will
be much longer when using the newer versions. But you get all of the new
features of those newer versions!

This does mean though, that there are some changes in the way you will be using
the material_508.lib and library_500.lib files in your .pov-files as well as in
the .ini's!

As far as the .ini-files are concerned, make sure you comment out the following
lines by adding a ; character front at the beginning of the corresponding lines:

  Create_Ini=
  Histogram_Name=
  Histogram_Grid_Size=0.0
  Histogram_Type=X ; NONE
  Version=

Inside your .pov-file there are a few changes too of course. I have taken care
so that material_508.lib automatically sees what version of POV-Ray you're
using so you don't have to worry about that, but you do have to switch on
Radiosity seperately for POV-Ray 3.5 and higher and MegaPOV by adding a:

  #declare radio = 1;

before you include the library files. See the sample files available on my
website on where you should place it. Other than that there is little for you to
change except to stay careful about using high ambient values in your other
textures, when they are, they will over expose an image badly! For the floor in
my sample sets I went from a value 0.4 to 0 to get things to look better again!

What has been changed also is that all technic axles now have a small rounding
on them, making them look even more realistic! This also affected the:

  brush_holder
  connecting_pole
  connect_bal
  f_dish
  hrbase4_4
  hrblock2_2
  jet_engine_cover
  jet_engine_turbine
  octagon_cornerpiece

tech_axle!

The LEGO(TM) text on the button contained a small error, this has now been
fixed thanks to Marcin Woloszyn! I've also changed 6 textures to look more
realistical than they did in version 500. They are:

  red_tex
  t_blue_tex
  t_cyan_tex
  t_green_tex
  t_red_tex
  t_yellow_tex

And I would also like to mention that for the transparent textures I've used
an ior of 1.05 in the past, starting with version 501 I will be using an ior
of 1.5 for better looking transparent pieces!

===============================================================================

Considerations for Library version 500:

Pieces to take into consideration when (re)doing models:

  hlblock1_1
  hlblock1_4
  h_connect1_2
  saw_engine
  swiveltop1_2 and 2_2 and swivelbase1_2
  tech_hpblock1_2 and 2_2
  tech_h_block1_1 thru 16

This because they have been changed and all pieces connecting to them should
or may have to be repositioned. Everything connecting to them should now be
y + 5.6.

Something similar applies to the:

  f_block2_2_up
  holder2_2
  palm_base
  palm_segment
  v_magneet_holder
  w_block2_2

All slope1_2 and slope2_2's should receive modifications to their applied
image_maps, all regular image_maps should be looked into as well! slope2_3's
as well...

  joy_stick and joy_base are y + 3.65 away from eachother now...

And the little men in their sitting positions should be y + 3.6 instead of the
"3.something" I have used in the past! :-(
