Alibre Export to POV-Ray SDL

[spiked3]

I have written an external app that uses the Alibre API to walk assemblies and parts, generate an SDL script, and invoke POV-Ray, a very capable ray tracing program. It should work with Alibre design V11 or V12. If anyone tries it Design Express let me know if it works or not.

It is provided as source code and binaries and at no costs. Visit my (hideous) web site at http://www.spiked3.com/povx if you are interested.

I would love to see what someone creative can do with it!

Work in progress; Alibre Design to CamBam bridge. When finished, this tightly coupled program will allow updates in Alibre Design to automatically be reflected in CamBam with no need to recreate machining operations.
CamBam fully supports 2.5D machining at a very reasonable cost (I have no relation at the moment other than a very happy user).
My bridge program will be free with source.

A screen capture of the program so far is at;

I welcome any ideas and suggestions.

Also the POV-Ray export program has had some updates, see the web page at

Hi Mike,

Some how I knew I'd find you over here on the Zone. So far I like what I'm seeing.

And the PovRay Addon can be found from there.
