(...) If I'm not mistaken, two big pushes were made for texture mapping, in 2004 and 2007. Both failed because of too much committee, too little action. This after previous attempts were made, of course, but looking at LUGNET, that's when the big (...) (14 years ago, 16-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I was under the impression that LDView already uses bump mapping for the stud logos. Is that wrong? (14 years ago, 16-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) But that's different from parts authors being able to use bump mapping in a part file. Or specific colors actually being implemented as bumps/textures -- so 'rubber black' actually looks distinct from 'black'. (14 years ago, 16-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Texture maps let us wrap images to polygons. This is great for painted images on surfaces, such as mini-figure torsos or the sides of walls. Bump maps describe how each point (texel) in the texture reacts to light, by describing a virtual (...) (14 years ago, 16-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) As it happens, the stud logos in LDView are just regular textures. --Travis (14 years ago, 16-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Wow, what a let down! I'm totally disappointed (with my apparently failing memory, not with you or LDView. Well, ok, maybe I'm just a teeny bit less impressed with LDView right now, but I'll get over it. :) Have fun, Don (14 years ago, 17-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I've been tossing this around for a while, and while I'm not sure who'd really use it in ldglite considering LDView is so much better suited for modern OpenGL use, it still seems like it'd be fun to experiment with. So, are there any example (...) (14 years ago, 1-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) (URL) that some of the files may have BFC issues. Look at 973pa9.dat for a file that has fallback geometry. As a side note, rebel_tile.dat (and the part it points to) have bad texture coordinates, so the texture is mirrored. --Travis (14 years ago, 1-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

By the way, I'm still not sure whether it's really worth it to attempt this in ldglite, or if it'd be more worthwhile to try something that might actually end up being useful, like say a minifig modeler (or maybe an lsynth GUI) built around (...)

(...) LDVLib doesn't allow you to edit models at all. You point it at an existing file and tell it to load. Having said that, if you wanted to do some (most?) of the work, it could probably be made to be usable for a minifig modeler, since (...) (14 years ago, 2-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
