And yes, I admit I've been unnesessarily grumpy and I am truly sorry for (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) So long as there are even a handful of us building Moonbase, it's not dead. Not by a longshot. I always admired your site, Jon. One day I tried to access it and it was not there. I hadn't realized it had been hacked, of course. But oh, was it (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hi Kevin, I just realised that there might be a way to do this by exploiting the way LDRAW defines parts. All mirrored parts should be written as a bunch of studs and a subpart which is either mirrored or non-mirrored. By determining which (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It may be able to display a billion polygons, but it certainly can't keep a billion unique polygons in video memory. Each unique point requires a bare minimum of 12 bytes, and usually requires more than that (for color/texture info). The (...) (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

Neat story. That's quite a coincidence! Maybe it's some kind of omen. If you keep making real life buildings in LEGO, eventually you'll own them. ;-) David (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks for the explanation. Since my computer at work (which I am using) is a high end CAD workstation with enough VRAM to display a billion polygons, I guess I should just leave it on HIGH!
