(...) I think the quad on line 217 needs to be a bit larger to cover the view through the holes around the corner studs on the top. I colored it orange so you can see it here. (URL) it's quite nice. Don (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I always thought the RGBs in the FAQ were supposed to be approximations of the 'real colors'. LDraw's palette is a poor match for real LEGO, and I'd hate to be stuck with it's selections. Although there were some values that we didn't have any (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Re: Codes for New Colors (was: Sand Red Bricks)
|
|
(...) Yes, but there are some problems: 1. LDraw (and LEdit) can't be changed to render new colors. So if we arbitrarily select color codes in the 0 - 255 range, the old programs won't work. 2. LDraw renders colors 17-31 the same as colors 1-15 (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yeah, like Tim said: the file format is staying the same. There are only two changes going on: 1. LDraw.org semi-officially endorses the .LDR extension as the standard for LDraw files. This stance doesn't have a *direct* effect on anything. 2. (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) [snip] (...) I was my impression that colors 256 to 511 are dithered combinations of colors 0 to 15, and that the RGB was the calculated average of the two dithered colors. The RGB of dithered colors is just mentioned in the FAQ as a (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) This is true. When a new colour is released from LEGO, we normally aim to find a dithered colour which looks fairly much like the new colour. Then we define that particular dithered colour as the new one. That way, we can still use the old (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Maybe I didn't understand something right, but the LDraw FAQ in section 20 mentiones that colors from 256 to 511 are dithered and not solid! So how can we have colors there? Are we not supporting dithered colors anymore? Or what is the real (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
