|
| (...) I just called S@H, and got the prices: Touch sensor: $11.00 Light sensor: $22.00 Angle sensor: $16.50 Temperature sensor: $16.50 The angle and temp sensors are not yet available. I wonder if their prices are not yet finalized. Steve (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| (...) That is wrong? Gee, I had no idea. I've used lines like that a lot, because I've seen them used in other part files, and they seemed to be more elegant than "1 16 x y z 10 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 10 4-4disc.dat" when the primitive is flat in y-direction (...)

Together with the POV substitution string I also have other data like the BoundingBox of the primitive, which is used e.g. in the automatic camera positioning. I think it is troublesome to have this kind of (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)

It's probably easier to make high-quality parts in LGEO, but it should be possible to make them in LDraw, run them through L3P, and get equivalent (...)

| (...) I checked this part with L3P this morning. What I got was: (...) I can't find an error in these lines, except they zero out the y component to turn a conic into a ring. Does POV-Ray not work with this type of transformation matrix? (or: did I (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)

| (...) All 3 cone primitives (4-4con12.dat, 1-4con3.dat, 1-4con4.dat) have POV equivalents in L3P. Unfortunately the 1-4 cones are clipped by a too small box, {<0,-1,0>,<2,2,2>} rather than {<0,-1,0>,<6,2,6>}. I plan on a release 1.2 in the very near (...)

| We received a flyer in the mail from Learning Express* yesterday that mentioned that LEGO is sponsoring a Throwbots building contest - details are on the LEGO web site (supposedly). Anyone checked this out yet? I would do it now but since I am (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)
