|
| | | LDView 4.1 Beta 1 is now available for download from the LDView downloads page here: (URL) This is a Beta release, which means that I’m hoping to get as much feedback as possible. This also means that it is likely not as stable as a final release, (...) (15 years ago, 5-Sep-09, to lugnet.announce, FTX)

I'm using a 3rd-part library to generate the 3DS files, and for reasons that I haven't yet been able to determine, Blender doesn't like the 3DS files being (...)

|
| | | | | | | (...) You're welcome. For many people, this will be the premier feature of LDView 4.1. I intended to include it in LDView 4.0, but decided it was better to get the release out instead of delaying it just for that. It was not an easy feature to (...)

I should add for Orion that it's quite trivial to add parts in whatever library you choose, especially if you make use of header files to do a lot of the mass declares etc. It really is a fantastic conversion (...)

| | | | | | | LDView Version 4.1 Beta 1 POV output bug report —Orion Pobursky
|
| | | | | | (...) Played a little more with this today. I turned off the XML file to experiment with LGEO free output. Right away I noticed that the file size was significantly larger (7.2 MB vice 1.1 MB for 10129). Browsing the output reveals a pretty (...) (15 years ago, 9-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the bug report. I have a few comments and a question. First of all, it's expected to be quite a bit larger with LGEO disabled, since it has to include the part geometry, while the LGEO version just references LGEO parts for their (...)

Please let me know if you see any duplication of other parts of the model. I have fixed this in my source code, and it will be (...) (15 years ago, 10-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | Colors in POV-Ray 3.7 Beta —Travis Cobbs
|
| | | | If you render LDView's POV output using the POV-Ray 3.7 beta release, you will see that the colors all look washed out. This seems to be due to a difference in the way that POV-Ray 3.7 handles gamma correction. There are two things that you need to (...) (15 years ago, 10-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

They basically moved the gamma correction to the ini/command line because it only applies (...) (15 years ago, 11-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
