  Re: I'm getting leery (was Re: L3P Idea)
 
I agree that a smoke puff shouldn't be in the library of Lego parts, since it isn't a Lego part and it is POV specific. However, having a directory of POV-specific .dat files for POV rendering is a perfectly reasonable thing for POV users to have, (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  New Part: Windscreen from Millenium Falcon set. DAT included  [DAT]
 
I created a windshield so I can MLCAD my Millenium Falcon. I only did the edges cause that's all I need. Anybody interested in finishing it. Also I have no idea how the filenameing system is working, I do my best to keep it neat. The DAT file is (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Arbitrary code (was Re: L3P Idea
 
(...) My perspective is that of a user... POV renderings are wrong. *Any* solution that fixes my particular needs is good enough for me. That said, the most general solution may be the best, and embedding POV specific fragments may not be very (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Don Heyse wrote... (...) Ah, I think I understand now... You require all DAT files in Linux to be in uppercase?

  Re: I'm getting leery (was Re: L3P Idea)
 
(...) I agree. POV commands are great for cleaning up the geometry. This was what I was really hoping for. However, if the command set is flexible enough for users to make their own custom parts for their private collections to do special effects (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Line Thickness and Antialiasing in LdGLite 0.7.3
 
(...) OK I confess, I took the cheap and easy fix rather than digging deeper to find the root of the problem. After further consideration I suppose the correct solution would be to run FixDatName() on all the hardcoded lowercase filenames when the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Line Thickness and Antialiasing in LdGLite 0.7.3
 
(...) Yeah, it's been that way for a while. Perhaps forever. I've fiddled with various ways to fix it, but haven't yet come up with anything that made me happy.

  I'm getting leery (was Re: L3P Idea)
 
(...) For what it's worth, I think I'd avoid taking L3P in this direction. I see L3P for what it is, a .DAT to .POV conversion tool, used for verts, lines, faces, etc. Before we start heading off into having .DAT versions of every possible .POV (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Arbitrary code (was Re: L3P Idea  [DAT]
 
Once again, I suggest we added TEXTURE as a 0-meta-command. This would solve a lot of issues, we could for example use TEXTURE RUBBER for differently coloured rubber parts as rubber bands, erasers, tyres... This way, it won't be POV-only, but all (...)

  Re: Smoke Puff.dat (was Re: L3P Idea)  [DAT]
 
Here is my improved smoke effect. I figured out a hack to get around having to hand edit anything. This is just be drag-and-drop. You can still see the spherical envelope of the smoke, but it isn't too bad. It takes a long time to render. For an (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
