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.

That's too bad.  I was just reading an article the other day that
would've been perfect for this.

(I was actually looking for something better than glzoompixels to rescale
the image buffer, not the colors in the buffer.)

Oh well,

Don
