Does anyone know if there is a place either on lugnet or the web where the building instructions (in .dat format) for all or most of the lego sets that lego has made and we have on the lugnet set search are? Has anyone undertaken this project? (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The code at sgi has an option to sort them by depth. It's not perfect though, and it uses a lot of memory since you have to push ALL the triangles through the feedback buffer before you sort. That's a lot of triangles and postscript is quite (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)

Well, here it is... the completed .mpd file for the 8880 Supercar. A rendered version can be found at (URL) hand-coded using nothing more than a text editor, my macro scanning and substitution program, l3lab, and a *lot* of algebra. I don't own the (...)

First of all, thanks for the new version! You've really worked hard to make this a wonderful utility! (...) For anyone who plans on making raytraced instructions, may I suggest the following: 1) Uncomment the "orthographic" keyword in the camera {} (...)

As you can read in "The motive to L3P" it was Lutz Uhlmann's LGEO library (or rather its incompleteness) that inspired me to get started in the LDRAW business. It resulted in my L3 (Lego+Ldraw+Lars) project, which has spun off L3P and L3Lab. The (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray) !!

(...) Where does hidden triangle removal happen in this process? Or do you count on getting them in proper back-to-front order? I'm experimenting with a postscript renderer plug-in since about a week ago. -Erik (24 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)

Has anyone heard of a plate that has pins on both sides? My Megabloks has them and I thought lego did as well. Joe (24 years ago, 20-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I pasted some code from here (URL) ldglite. It uses the opengl feedback buffer to grab the primitives and dump EPS instead of rendering them onscreen. It's a neat trick, but not the best way to do it. A better way would be to convert parts (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)
