1st off thanks for looking.
Second can you post some links to 3DS stuff? I know nothing about it at the
moment. I’m guessing its short for something else.
That request will get tacked on the end of the exports todo list. It will take a
good deal of time before I get round to it. I want to get the editing element of
the program done well before to give it a solid base before I move on to the
exports.
Ah. LeoCAD similarities. Its not original its not plagiarism its that nice in
between artists like to call inspired. I was inspired by the LeoCAD layout.
I have been thinking about animation. It was sparked by holding down the “undo”
button and watching my model spin around. This is a most probably but much later
feature. Animation would be an extension of the robotizise window. Which is
going to be an advanced posturing window. Meaning all the Lego joins would join
and pivot as expected. Ill need to get brick clicking working first but I’m long
way towards that already in version 0.8A. I called it robotisize because it will
use some robotics algorithms used for positioning robot arms.
Camera/view. Version 0.8A has camera rotation about the Y axis. I’m going to add
Z rotation maybe pre-set Z angles. Mainly because I can’t see the bottom of my
models and that makes it hard to build em. Which is bad.
