  Rendering Datsville with POV-Ray (Was: About installing/Reinstalling Ldraw and about datville)
 
Eduardo: (...) It is as far as I know practically impossible to render Datsville in POV-Ray at the moment. I think it is necessary with some "intelligent" stud and interior removal to reduce the model to a size most systems can cope with. Jacob (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
 
  About installing/Reinstalling Ldraw and about datville
 
Not so long ago my 4th P.C crashed (I think it killed a cat) like the rest of my PC (Next time I will buy a mac) so I formated c: and reinstalled everything again exect for M$ Office 2000 PRO when it was time to installed all Lego apps I decided to (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
 
  6277 Imperial Trading Post  [DAT]
 
I've finished the LDraw instructions for 6277, the Imperial Trading Post set. This has a lot of unofficial parts, which you can get at lugnet.cad.dat.parts. For any parts that don't yet exist, I tried to substitute a reasonable alternative and add a (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Datsville Overview Map (Was: Boundary Box Utility)
 
You could specify (or firmly recommend) in the future that models must posses boundary boxes measured in degrees of tilewidths (or half-tilewidth's). Anything less than that would be considered a prop. Props would then be dealt with seperately, just (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Datsville Overview Map (Was: Boundary Box Utility)
 
This is great! An idea: if bitmaps were created of the model from 6 directions (left, right, bottom, top, front, back), you could texture map those to the boundary box (inside, to make sort of a 6 point, 3 plane cross intersecting in the center) and (...)

  Re: Shrinking ldraw unofficial part list

Thank you very much! I tested it on "my home" in Datsville, and it worked perfectly well, exactly as I want it to.

  Re: About datsville
 
(...) Oh, but it's still very interesting to hear that rendering Datsville is that quick in L3Lab! It sounds to me like future renderings of Datsville will probably be done in L3Lab rather than POV-Ray. By the way, do anybody know if rendering (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
