  Re: How do u get BMP to JPEG format?
 
(...) There are zillions of graphics apps out there that will do this for you, but the two I use most often are LViewPro and Paint Shop Pro, both of which are available in shareware versions online. The conversion process can be done in either of (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: How do u get BMP to JPEG format?
 
(...) I have two ways that I use. One is with MS photo editor, and the other is Netscape Composer. Photo editor comes with office, and Netscape composer is with the free download of the Communicator suite. In Photo editor, go to Save As..., and on (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  New Rendered Images on Brickshelf
 
The images are of a tracked exploration vehicle I designed and some gears, including an MPEG of the gears rotating. I am sorry the MPEG does not loop smoothly, there is an extra frame. Also, the images are not new, I made them over 3 years ago. Of (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)  
 
  Re: New Parts Category: Cockpit
 
(...) Does anyone else see things the same way as Jonathan does? It's not what I had been thinking, but Cockpit could be defined to include both the base parts and the canopy parts. The only thing is this: Windscreen is a fairly cleanly- defined (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: New Parts Category: Cockpit
 
Talking about the subject summarized at: (...) I think canopy pieces should probably stay in the Windscreen group. I can see putting the Space Nose and Space Cabin Base pieces in a Cockpit group. There's not really any other place to stick them, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Category Statement
 
(...) I'd say there are no plans to add statements for all part files. The 'default value' for category is the first word in the partname. Since, 3001.dat doesn't have a 0 CATEGORY statement, its category comes from the part name, and the category (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Speaking of colors...
 
(...) Silver looks more like brushed aluminum. (...) I think so -- it appears that the new silver is actually the color of the plastic, not a post-molding layer that's plated onto the parts. (...) suggestions being trans-black, 32, or trans-dark (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  BlockCAD and MLCad in a german magazine
 
Hy, the Lego community is becomming more and more present in the actual magazines now. Finaly there is a german computer magazine called CT which comes with a Shareware/Freeware CD this month. Included on this CD are BlockCAD and MLCad. Just wanted (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)  
 
  Category Statement
 
I thought about making use of the category statement in MLCad. This would have allowed to group the parts by category rather than by name or something else .... ... but I did a quick check on the parts and found out that only arround 5% of the parts (...)

  Re: Speaking of colors...
 
(...) I think it makes sense to use a special code for rubber, and 256 sounds like a good choice. (...) Let's see. In LDraw, if dithered color K is constructed out of solid colors I and J as 256 + I * 16 + J, I believe the edge-color of K will be (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: curved train track
 
BTW, in case anyone hasn't guessed this, I've jumped into this thread in order to make sure I understand exactly which variations of the rails have which part numbers. I need to know so that we can get the parts released with the proper numbers. (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LDraw parts creation tutorial?
 
Once again, I have had the pleasure of recieving a mail from an LDraw newbie who wishes to learn the noble art of creating new LDraw parts. I know that some answers can be found in the LDraw FAQ, but I think there has been a discussion about making (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: curved train track
 
(...) the (...) The blue track doesn't have a part number on it. It does have numbers on them but those seem not related to the part itself (for example I have a blue straight piece with the numbers 10-09 and another with 13-06). -Frank (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Speaking of colors...
 
Color 256 for Black Rubber was suggested by John VanZwieten one year ago, see eg. (URL) haven't received any suggestions for the POV setting for rubber, so I just turned off reflection.

  Speaking of colors...
 
I noticed that the m6596a.dat file which comes with the new version of L3Lab uses color 256 (black + black) for the tires. These apparently display in L3Lab with a black edge color. In addition, Lars' renderings of this model on his L3P page appear (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
