Hi folks,
as an early X-Mas present the LEGO Universe Team has shared another batch of
part shapes with the community, with the purpose to make them fit for the LDraw
Parts Tracker. This time the focus is on Minifig Headgear but there are also
some plane parts and doors. I've added the parts the old list at:
http://www.ldraw.org/Article490.html
where you'll also find some guidelines in regard of the ownership and copyright.
If you haven't prepared a L(EGO)Draw parts yet make sure to read these articles
first:

I'm curious as to what the differences between the format they submitted them to
you are? For instance, do the models you've received have surface normals?

Mike,
The LU Team submits directly in LDraw. As you can see in the header:
0 Created with stl2dat conversion tool
they use Marc Klein's converter. It is known that TLG uses a heavily modified
Maya to author parts.

For sure it would be best to get a file format closer from the original design
(.stl for example), to be able to tweak stl2dat parameters for better results.
Or to create directly POV versions...

I woudln't bother pushing this. LEGO is being very nice to the fan community by
providing us parts in LDRAW DAT format. I'd leave it at that.

What about the mention "0 !HISTORY 2007-08-25 {The LEGO Universe Team} Original
part shape" for these new parts? Should we change the date?

Philo,
I added the submission dates to the chart. Pick it from the list.
