Hi all,

I am looking for a way to render fast top view images and thus creating images
like the original LEGO instructions they use in the Statue of Liberty.

To do top view rendering was answered in another question I asked.

Would it be possible to use previous step color scaling using LDView or LDGLite
as renderer in LPub?

I can't be sure, but it appears that LPub modifies the POV files that come out
of L3P in order to get that effect, instead of modifying the LDraw files it
sends to L3P/LDView/LDGLite.  So until this is changed in LPub, it doesn't
appear that there is any way to get that to work.  Note that even if
LDView/LDGLite supported this functionality (LDView definitely doesn't; not sure
about LDGLite), it wouldn't help, since LPub creates the LDraw files that it
sends to the programs, and it doesn't include step information in those files.

(...) Pitty. Then the images MLCad produce will have to do. Thanks! (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That's too bad. I was just reading an article the other day that would've been perfect for this. (URL) was actually looking for something better than glzoompixels to rescale the image buffer, not the colors in the buffer.) Oh well, Don (17 years ago, 15-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Travis, You are correct. LPub does this as a POV post-process. LPub could instead, do this in the step-dats with hexidecimal coloring, but I've not gotten that done (yet?) Kevin (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
