Prinoth Leitwolf
-------------------------------------

This amazingly accurate MOC of a Prinoth Leitwolf snow groomer was created by Designer Han (
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=341066) who was also kind enough to create an
excellent set of instructions.  The availability of instructions was what this the first Technic MOC
I attempted to replicate.

He does a far better job of explaining the details of his model than I would, so please see his web
site (http://www.designer-han.nl/lego/prinoth%20leitwolf.htm) for more info.  I'll just summarize
the functions below.

- Independent left and right track driven by dual Power Function XL motors.  Spring loaded track
system keeps tension on the tracks.

- Front blade raises with PF Medium motor and tilts back and forth using a know.

- Rear smoother raises with PF medium motor.

- All motorized functions are remote via PF Infrared transmitter and 2 receivers.

- Track suspension can be raised via a pneumatic pump hidden under the engine compartment.

- There's a working V-6 in the engine bay.

- An optional drum winch is fitted to the rear.


For this render I wanted the model to appear in a natural setting.  Since I haven't figured this out
in POV-Ray yet, I actually used a photograph for the background.  I rendered the model with a
transparent background, the laid it over the top.  I added a drop shadow in Photoshop to give it
some depth, and the lens flare was also postprocessed.

The render itself uses LGEO parts as much as possible, radiosity, and HDR lighting.
