| (...) Thanks, Philo! In that case, I shall rescan without the head, from more angles, and with finer settings - I was trying (unsuccessfully) to try and limit the polygon count by scanning in lower resolution, but if you're using other software to (...)

| Hi all, I managed to find part #64776 Die 6 Sided Rubber Frame with Red Center with Studs (Board Games) in an Official parts list but I cannot find these files: (Bricklink part numbers) 3068bpb290 3068bpb291 3068bpb292 3068bpb293 3068bpb192 (...) (13 years ago, 23-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| Hi Darrel, (...) Indeed, the face is not really needed here. Your scanner properly creates a file in millimeter units, scaling by 2.5 directly provides LDU. (...) From my experience with laser scanner, some smoothing can't be avoided because the (...) (13 years ago, 23-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| Hi Philo, I've sent you the STL file for the Anakin Skywalker hair piece and the Senate Commando helmet. I’m not really satisfied with how the front of the part looks; if you look at the picture on Peeron there’s a lot more definition in the hair (...)

| Hi Reuben & Darell, (...) Yes, they look good. At first sight triangulation has too many triangles for a LDraw file, but it's easy to reduce. (...) I could have a try, but don't expect it so soon... Another problem is that I don't have the real part (...) (13 years ago, 22-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| (...) Can any of the experienced part authors confirm whether Darrell's files are suitable for making an LDraw part? From the visuals they look pretty good, but I'm no expert on the details needed to convert this type of model into a real part file. (...)

| (...) I think that making good photos is the best way. You need a camera with good optical zoom, make your photos directly in front of head, and from a distance to minimize field of view. The photo you get is not very different from a projection on (...) (13 years ago, 21-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| (...) Here are some ideas: 1. If you know the exact physical dimensions/characteristics of your digital camera (focal length, aperture, diode size, etc.) I bet you can find a tool or collection of algorithms online that you can use to convert the (...)

| The technique I've been using to make minifig torsos can be extended to heads, but I have one critical problem that I haven't been able to figure out yet: Before tracing an image, I need an image that is facing the camera head-on. Normally to get a (...) (13 years ago, 19-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
