LGEO is a library of LEGO parts modeled by POV-Ray primitives.

When exporting LDraw parts to POV-Ray format, tools like LDView can use an XML file, usually named LGEO.xml, to substitute dedicated parts by their LGEO implementations. The older tool L3P uses the two files lg_elements.lst and lg_colors.lst to accomplish much the same thing, as well as to indicate whether to switch over to using Anton Raves' POV-Ray parts instead.

Starting from the original library by Lutz Uhlmann, many people edited and added parts to it. This sadly has led to a tree of variations, not a single collection. This tree is shown here:

┃ ┣━Copy 1 (dead link*)
┃ ┣━archive.org backup of Copy 1 (as of 2012-03-20)
┃ ┗━Copy 2
┃ ┗━GitHub repository
┣━━━ LGEO update by Owen Burgoyne (already included with AIOI)
┣━━━ LGEO update by Lars C. Hassing (possibly outdated)
┣━━━ LGEO update by Damien Roux
┗━━━ Does anybody know more variants? Please add them here.

* = Lutz's site seems to be offline.
= Owen's parts are already included with the AIOI, so you likely will not need to download them again.
= Lars's "updated" parts seem to be actually older than the ones included with the AIOI. It may be that you shouldn't use them.
