Eagle3D

Former Member

 

I've been playing around with eadgle3D (povray based) and it is very

impressive.

 

My first issue is I dont know how to add components from eagle libraries

to eagle3D

 

I see from the writers web page that this should be possible but

I seem to be a bit slow on the uptake for some reason

 

Does anyone know if there is a step by step guide or howto for this?

 

TIA

    There is NO possibility to add EAGLE libraries to 'eagle3D' other than

    learning the POVRay syntax and manually creating all the necessary

    POVRay files yourself. This is a LOT of work and consumes a LOT of time.

     

    'eagle3D' already converts all copper to POVRay properly, but the 3D

    information for the REAL components CANNOT be automatically created,

    because it doesn't EXIST anywhere. For the typical package, 2-8 hours

    should be necessary to create a DECENT model (going down a bit when

    getting the hang of POVRay), meaning that the library creation work is

    going up by a factor of ten, roughly. This is the reason why I never

    REALLY bothered to use 'eagle3D' - MUCH too much work for a nice, but

    NOT a really important result.

    p.s.   ... perhaps a degree of automation could even be done for

    components with bsdl models... it's just a thought
