  Re: "LGEO" and "L3P v1.4 BETA 20080930"

(...) The shading looks too smooth to be MLCAD. Also, the studs in the image have the logo on top, which MLCAD doesn't do. -Mike (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  MLCad being used by Lego Universe dev team?
 
Hey guys, Got the latest Lego Universe newsletter, and found this interesting. (URL) screenshot of the CAD bricks seems to be from MLCad, with the edge lines and stud resolution. I would think they'd be using Lego's internal Maya library. -Stefan- (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
