(...) Pretty darn cool, Bram. Which piece is that you have for the tire/ wheel? (26 years ago, 3-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: More raytraces!
 
Looks like the standard smaller Technic tire, with the white disk out of the small Extreme team set. BRAM - VERY cool. Now, uh, WHERE'S THE LDRAW DIRECTIONS? I NEED this car in red ;-) (...) (26 years ago, 4-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) Actually, it's the small airfilled tire: 30.4 x 14 VR, but I used the technic tire as a substitute, because the airfilled tire doesn't exist in LDraw yet. (...) Thanks! The file's at the end. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com (...) (26 years ago, 4-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

You to convert those BMPs to GIFs to make the HTML usable, as LDAO and LDraw do not output GIFs, but you really need GIFs or JPGs to be Web-centric. Just run them through a converter in the directory you dumped them to, then open the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) "Generate HTML" will do the bmp-to-gif conversion, if you install ImageMagick and tell LDAO where it is. Steve (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: More raytraces!
 
(...) If you're going use LDAO's HTML generator much, you might edit HTMLGen.src in the LDAO directory. That file contains all the HTML fragments used to spit out the .html files.

  Re: More raytraces!
 
Is the entire IM directory needed, or JUST the convert.exe? I'd like to delete all the rest if all I need is convert.exe, but I don't have the time to remove a file at a time until something breaks. Right now, it works, but that's an awful lot of (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
