I've poked my nose around as much as I could and didn't find anything relating to what I am trying to do... Everyone who has contributed to this area has done a great job but, I was wondering if someone has any experience getting .dat files into (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yes, exactly. I did the same thing with my last go'round with the Explorien logo. Scanned the image, BMP2DAT, and then drew the vector image right over top of the rasterized image. It's a very useful approach. Steve (23 years ago, 19-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad)

  LDraw Parts Talk at BrickFest (was: Re: Question about posting DAT files here)
 
(...) Ooo, good question. *Did* anyone tape it? I don't think so, but my face was mostly pointed at the monitor the whole time, not looking around.

I like it! Very "swoopy". I like the brown 1x2 poking up through the water. It would be cool to do the water out of trans-light-blue 1x1 tiles, and go down a few bricks to show more rocks just under the surface. -gyug (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jul-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad)

  Re: Question about posting DAT files here
 
I've noticed the streaking myself when I have a 'skinned' piece at an angle in MLCad, but it does not show up so much when I view the dat files in LDVIEW-10 (what I use to generate my 'POVRAY's). I'm a point & clicker, (in reality a logic database (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad)

  2x2x1 cylinder
 
I can't find this part in the Ldraw database, nor can I find the part number on it either. Has this part been modeled yet? It's used as the wheels on the 7301 Life On Mars Rover, among other places. Thanks Adrian (23 years ago, 19-Jul-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
