Render 3D images of your PCBs using Eagle3D and POV-Ray

Step 3 Let POV-Ray include Eagle3D files

Method A
Eagle3D uses special #include files when it is scripting, and you need to give these files to POV-Ray for your image to render. First, go into your Eagle3D program directory. Find the folder named POV-Ray, and copy the files to the "include" folder in the POV-Ray root directory. (Picture 1)

Method B
To make life a bit easier, you could also specify the directory where the original Eagle3D include files are located. To do this, open your POV-Ray root directory, open the "renderer" folder, and edit the POV-Ray.ini file. Add the following line to the base of the file:

Library_Path="C:\Program Files\Eagle3D\ulp\Eagle3D\povray"

Of course, you should change the "C:\Program Files\Eagle3D" to where ever the root directory of Eagle3D is located. (Picture 2)
